Rapid Fiber Connect ™ platform Engineered for AI. Built for Scale.
The ultra-dense GPU rack-scale systems, pods and clusters in AI factories require tens of thousands of fiber connections each. This complexity increases risk, cost and longer deployment times, none of which AI data center operators can easily bear. The answer: CommScope’s high-density Rapid Fiber Connect plug-and-play connectivity platform The Rapid Fiber Connect platform dramatically simplifies the cabling, testing, deployment and scaling of ultra-dense GPU racks, pods and clusters. Its flexible panel designs and integrated, preconfigured, prelabelled output pigtails eliminate much of the manual work in off-site cabling and validation. On the floor, the platform’s 96-fiber Mass Insert MMC trunk cables mean fewer
connections and faster system turn-up. The Rapid Fiber Connect platform is an efficient foundation for upgrades and scale-out deployments.
Three components, one breakthrough solution
• Rapid Fiber Connect GPU panel The front access-only design with 960-fiber capacity is ideal for high-density racks and is optimized for 72-GPU designs. • Rapid Fiber Connect Switch panel The front/rear access switch panel supports 1,728-fibers and is stackable to achieve ultra-high fiber density.
Mass Insert trunks and integrated pigtails. Pigtails and connector legs are preconfigured to the port locations in common AI designs. Legs are prelabeled and color-coded to accelerate deployments. • Trunk cables with 96-fiber Mass Insert MMC connectors Trunks are available in singlemode and multimode,
and in various lengths. Trunks can be pulled ahead of time, saving even more time, and don’t have to be replaced as part of the next refresh.

Gain a Better Understanding of Micro- and Nano-Optical Devices with Simulation
Design, analyze, and optimize micro- and nano- optical devices with the Wave Optics Module, an add-on to the COMSOL Multiphysics® simulation software. Industry leaders rely on modeling and simulation to evaluate optical device performance before prototyping, gaining insight into key performance metrics such as electromagnetic field distributions, transmission and reflection coefficients, and power dissipation. Virtual modeling helps engineers and scientists identify design improvements earlier in the development process, reducing the need for physical prototypes while accelerating product
development.
The Wave Optics
Module is fully integrated with the multiphysics modeling environment of the COMSOL® software, enabling coupled
simulations that account for real-world interactions in a singular user interface, including stress-optical, electro-optical, and acousto- optical effects, as well as electromagnetic heating. These capabilities support the design and optimization of photonic devices, integrated optics, optical waveguides, couplers, fiber optics, and other optical technologies. Learn more about how the Wave Optics Module can help
you streamline development,
reduce engineering costs, and improve device performance.
