Connectorized and spliced:
Data Center Interconnect solutions from AFL
AFL provides two unique Data Center Interconnect solutions: connectorized and spliced. Both state-of-the-art technologies are crafted using AFL’s innovative Wrapping Tube Cable (WTC) with Spider Web Ribbon® (SWR®) fiber.
WTC with SWR®: powering the future of DCI
WTC with SWR® is integral to our Data Center Interconnect solutions, accommodating many fibers within a compact, lightweight cable, while providing top-tier climatic and water-blocking protection. By using small-diameter, ultra-high fiber count cables, AFL enables more fibers
to fit into existing duct space, preventing costly civil works and minimizing the risk of damaging current infrastructure.
DCI: connectorized solutions
AFL’s Data Center Interconnect solutions ensure rapid access to your business data. Here’s what to expect:
- Rapid deployment with ultra-high fiber count
- MPO Trunks and Patching Frames
Decrease deployment time
Simplify installation with AFL’s connectorized Data Center Interconnect solutions. Reduce deployment time by up to 70% and lower the total cost of implementation.
Boost network efficiency
Connect multiple data centers using ultra-high fiber count MPO Trunk assemblies. Enhance network reach, scalability, and cost-effectiveness.
Maximize pathway space
Minimize the size of your network. With AFL’s advanced Data Center Interconnect solutions, you can fit more cables into existing duct space and avoid the cost of expensive civil works.

DCI Splice Solution
Our Data Center Interconnect solutions enable super-fast connectivity between facilities over short, medium, and long distances. Spliced solution benefits and features include:
- Cables, racks, and panels enabled for mass-fusion splicing
- 60-75% faster deployment compared to single fiber splicing
Enhance network performance
Seamlessly transition from the exterior to the core of the data center. Leverage short, medium, and long-distance data center interconnects—across various fiber densities—to reduce latency and boost efficiency.
Future-proof your network
Easily scale with high-fiber count Wrapping Tube Cables (WTC). Eliminate additional cable installations between data centers. Cut down on cost and optimize business agility.
Accelerate network growth
60-75% faster installations than single fiber splicing. Combine ultra-high fiber count WTC technology with our patented SpiderWeb Ribbon® (SWR®) solution for optimal use of duct space.
