Introduction Fiber’s Three Core Roles in the AI Stack 1. Intra-data-center fabric — GPU cluster interconnect (East-West traffic)The biggest AI traffic shift is the explosion of east-west traffic: data moving between servers and GPUs inside the same data center, not just traffic going in/out to users
As data center traffic continues to grow, server access, switch interconnects, and intra-rack communications demand higher bandwidth. While 50G connections still meet some existing needs, 100G is becoming a key option for expansion amid rising high-density computing, distributed storage, and AI work
In 2026, enterprise networks face a perfect storm of demand. Wi-Fi 7 access points require multi-gigabit uplinks and higher power budgets. High-resolution security cameras, smart lighting, digital signage, and dense IoT deployments increasingly rely on Power over Ethernet (PoE++ / IEEE 802.3bt Type
