Ushering in the Era of 800G / AI Data Centers: How to Overcome Optical Interconnect Challenges?

Introducing ADTEK GPX62 XHD MMC Patch Panel: Redefining Ultra High-Density Fiber Connectivity

As AI computing power and hyperscale data centers evolve at breakneck speed, the demand for optical interconnect solutions has entered a new phase—characterized by the triple challenges of higher bandwidth, higher density, and lower power consumption. Whether supporting AI clusters, cloud computing platforms, or telecom backbones, the explosive growth in data traffic exposes the limitations of traditional fiber patch panel solutions.

Today’s market demands are clear:
✅ Higher port density to maximize cabinet and rack space efficiency
✅ Increased connection efficiency to accommodate frequent MAC (Moves, Adds, Changes) operations
✅ Stronger compatibility with next-generation fiber standards
✅ Lower power consumption to support greener, low-carbon data center goals

In response to these industry needs, ADTEK proudly launches its latest generation GPX62 XHD MMC Patch Panel, purpose-built for AI-driven data centers and high-speed interconnect networks. This innovative solution addresses the evolving architecture of modern optical networks with scalability, flexibility, and reliability.


Why Are Data Centers Urgently Demanding “Higher-Density” Solutions?

With the leap from 400G to 800G—and now moving toward 1.6T—optical module bandwidth is skyrocketing, but interconnect density and space utilization have become key bottlenecks. AI clusters, in particular, are deploying massive numbers of interconnections between GPUs, storage, and AI workloads, resulting in complex fiber management, increased operational difficulty, and higher energy consumption.
The introduction of MMC (Miniature Multi-fiber Connector) is a direct response to these challenges. Compared to traditional MPO/MTP®, MMC connectors offer a significantly smaller footprint, higher density, and superior optical performance. MMC has become the industry’s go-to solution for next-generation high-density optical interconnects.


ADTEK GPX62: Designed for Ultra High-Density Interconnects

The ADTEK GPX62 XHD MMC Patch Panel is specifically engineered for today’s high-density and high-bandwidth fiber management needs, while also delivering “future compatibility” for tomorrow’s optical network infrastructure.

Supports MMC Fiber Compatibility for Maximum Density

GPX62 fully supports MMC connectors, dramatically increasing port density to meet the needs of 800G and 1.6T optical module deployments. Compared to traditional MPO/MTP® solutions, MMC connectors are nearly 50% smaller, enabling almost double the number of ports on the same panel surface. This allows data centers to achieve significantly more connections within the same rack space.

Extreme High-Density (XHD) Design

The modular design, combined with the density advantages of MMC, allows for higher capacity port configurations and greatly improves rack space utilization.

  • Ideal for AI clusters, hyperscale data centers, and telecom operator backbone networks
  • Flexible layout with front and rear insertion, making it easy to integrate into various cabling architectures

Optimized for 800G / 1.6T Optical Module Architectures

Whether supporting 8x100G or 2x400G configurations, or wavelength division multiplexing (LWDM / CWDM) applications, GPX62 is ready to seamlessly integrate with the latest high-speed optical modules—ensuring stable and scalable connectivity.


Efficient Operation, Reduced Energy Consumption

As AI clusters expand rapidly and data center energy efficiency becomes a shared industry priority, the GPX62 combines ease of operation with efficient cable management:

  • Pull-out tray design with lock-in positioning for easy patching and maintenance
  • Transparent rotating cover ensures organized cabling without disrupting tray movement
  • Reduces cable management energy consumption and supports green data center initiatives

Seizing the Opportunity in AI Optical Interconnects

2024 marks a turning point for AI data centers and high-speed optical interconnects. Industry standards are rising, and expectations are higher than ever. The ADTEK GPX62 XHD MMC Patch Panel isn’t just a high-performance product—it’s a strategic asset that empowers enterprises to achieve intelligent, low-carbon, and ultra-efficient connectivity in the AI and big data era.
