High Density Fiber Connectivity for Hyperscale Data Centers

Whitepaper — July 2025

Authors: Nguyen X. Nguyen, Rick Nguyen, Hieu M. Bui (VAFC Global) & Naoya Wada (Advanced ICT Research Institute, NICT).

Overview: This white paper presents Multi-Core Fiber (MCF) as a commercially viable solution for AI and hyperscale networks—delivering 4× bandwidth within standard 125 µm cladding, ~80% cable-tray space savings, and improved energy efficiency. It compares MCF to SMF, MMF, and Hollow-Core Fiber, and maps how recent technical breakthroughs—across fabrication, fan-in/out, and splicing—unlock real deployment opportunities.
