AFL, an industry-leading manufacturer of fiber optic cables, connectivity, and equipment, has introduced Denali, a modular optical fiber platform that is specifically engineered for high-growth GPU environments with minimal infrastructure upgrades.
The Denali platform delivers leading-edge data center performance today, while positioning facilities of tomorrow to scale with the increasing complexity and volume of hyperscale and AI workloads.
With its modular design, the Denali platform adapts as networks grow, featuring advanced rack-mount hardware, cassettes and pre-terminated customizable assemblies. This platform delivers up to 288 LC duplex ports (576 fibers) in 4RU of rack space, and supports speeds from 10GB to 800GB and beyond.
“The market is undergoing a major shift, where AI-driven densification is transforming how data centers approach fiber deployment," said Marc Bolick, president of product solutions at AFL. “The Denali platform was developed in response to this shift of handling faster scaling, reduced downtime and solid reliability that AI workloads actually need."
