Cabling trends in data centres Switch to Switch links • early market for 100 Gig Ethernet • 100m links will cover all needs Fibre Rich Server to Switch links • need 40 Gig from 2016, 100 Gig 2019 • majority of server links under 55m Copper Rich
Parallel Optics for 40G 40G Electronics Optical Electronics 40G 10G 10G 10G 40G 40G 10G 10G 10G 10G 10G • Relaxed specsfortransceivers (0.25nm to 0.65 nm for 40G) • Reduceddistances • MPO defined as connector in standard • Standard IEEE 802.3ba approved in August 2010
Parallel Optics for 100G • 100GBASE-SR10 (approved) • 20 fibres • 100GBASE-SR4 (in development) • 8 fibres • Approvalexpectedmid of 2014 • Distancebeingproposed: 100 m with OM4 • MPO connectivity
Extended distances for 40G • Approved 40GBASE-SR4 standardwith 2 connector model • 100m for OM3 • 150 m with OM4 and low loss • NCS at DCCC: 600 m with 9 MTP connectors • Cisco and others start to guarantee 400m over OM4

MTP Connector and Adaptor • Alignment of fibre with guiding pins • Female connector: Pre-Term • Male connector: Module • Key on connector and adaptor • Maintain polarity • Key up/key down adaptor
Polarity for 10G and 40G/100G Key up Pair flip Key down • Polarity method for 10G • Method defined in standards: method C • Polarity for 40G/100G • Not defined in standards, supplier specific • 2 types of patch cords because of male/female MPO • Nexans use 2 types of interconnection plates • Easy to install, recognise and maintain
Port count during upgrade to 40G • 10 G with MTP modules • 6 x 10G ports = 60 G capacity • Total fibres for 6 ports: 12 • 40 G with MTP connectors • 6 port x 40G ports = 240 G capacity • Total fibres for 6 ports: 72 • Port count per rack grows over time
Reliability = Cleaning of MTP connectors Dry cloth cleaner made from antistatic resins Designed to clean single fibre adaptors: stand alone or in an adaptor Cassette Cleaner for male MTP connectors

Summary • MPO isthe F/O standardfor 40G and 100G • The LANmark-OF MPO/LC-Cassettesallow an easy migrationfrom 10G (with LC) upto 40/100G (MPO) • The polaritymethodusedfromnexansisdesignedfor easy patchcordhandling • The MTP connectivityusedfrom Nexans ensureshigherquality
Benefits of fibre cablingin an office • Support long distances • No space restrictions for floor distributors and/or cable trays • Low refurbishment cost/less disruption • redundancy at user level • low loss and right sized POE+ at no additional cost Only one central port needed for four or eight users.
