Our latest blog dives deep into the unprecedented volatility and demand that Artificial Intelligence has unleashed on the fiber optic cabling industry.
From hyperscale data centers needing 10x more fiber to the relentless pursuit of ultra-low latency for real-time AI, the impact has been monumental. We’re talking 800G becoming the new standard, and a strategic scramble for space, speed, and energy efficiency across the board.
For our Tier 1 and Tier 2 partners, this means navigating a double-edged sword: immense growth coupled with intense pressure to innovate and scale. We break down the challenges—from the thermal wall to the quantum security imperative—and look ahead to the revolutionary solutions required, including Co-Packaged Optics (CPO), Near-Package Optics (NPO), and robotic automation.
Shenzhen, 2025 – As our world becomes increasingly reliant on unmanned aerial vehicles, the need for secure, high-bandwidth, and unjammable communication methods has never been more critical. While radio frequency (RF) communication has been the backbone of drone operations, its vulnerabilities to jamming, interference, and limited bandwidth are pushing the boundaries of what’s possible. Enter fiber optic drones, a groundbreaking innovation that’s set to revolutionize how we control and communicate with these versatile machines.

As a Product Line Manager at ADTEK, I’ve had a front-row seat to the evolution of optical connectivity for years. Sometimes, I find myself joking with my team that the emergence of MPO and parallel optics in the early 2000s, while a game-changer at the time, feels like “peanuts” compared to what’s happening right now. The sheer scale and speed of innovation are truly unprecedented.
The digital landscape is being reshaped by the insatiable demands of Artificial Intelligence (AI), cloud computing, and High-Performance Computing (HPC). These transformative technologies require an unprecedented level of high-density fiber connectivity, pushing the boundaries of network infrastructure. As an OEM/ODM fiber cable assembly and connectivity manufacturer, we see firsthand the immense growth in demand for these critical components. Looking ahead, it’s becoming increasingly clear that the ability to secure a robust and scalable supply chain will be a decisive factor for success.
ADTEK’s CPO Interconnect Shuffle tackles the critical fiber management challenges in next-generation data centers, offering unmatched precision, density, and reliability to unlock the full potential of Co-Packaged Optics.
Unlock Unprecedented Performance and Efficiency with MTP & MPO Connector Assemblies In today’s data-driven world, where speed, density, and reliability are paramount, traditional fiber optic
It has been a while since my last blog, as I was busy preparing for and attending OFC. Afterward, I needed time to digest all the valuable insights I gathered. To be honest, getting started on this blog was daunting—I wasn’t sure which topic to address first, given the wealth of fascinating discussions at OFC. Unlike previous years, the focus wasn’t primarily on broadband; instead, AI connectivity took center stage, along with its vast bandwidth and low latency requirements.
The rapid advancement of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) is fundamentally reshaping datacenter network architectures. Presentations at the OFC Summit on Optics for AI Datacenters highlighted a clear trajectory driven by the insatiable demand for data. Three interconnected themes emerged: the sheer scale of future connectivity needs, the ongoing shift from traditional pluggable optics to Co-Packaged Optics (CPO), and the longer-term evolution towards highly integrated Optical I/O (OIO).
