In response to the growing demands of cloud computing and big data, Intel and Corning have collaborated to develop advanced optical fiber technology capable of delivering an impressive speed of 1.6 Tb/s (200 Gb/s) over a distance of 300 meters. This breakthrough promises to revolutionize high-speed data transmission in modern data centers.
The new fiber utilizes Corning's ClearCurve LX multimode fiber technology, which is designed for improved performance and flexibility. Combined with Intel's MXC optical interface, it paves the way for future Intel Silicon Photonics solutions. The MXC technology was first introduced by Intel and Corning in September 2013, marking a significant step forward in optical connectivity.
This fiber operates at a wavelength of 1310 nm, specifically optimized to support Intel's silicon photonics technology. One of its key advantages is its reduced bending radius—just one-tenth of that of traditional fibers—making it more adaptable to tight spaces within server racks.
The Intel MXC interface supports up to 64 fibers, with 32 dedicated for transmitting and 32 for receiving data. Each fiber can theoretically carry up to 25 Gbps, resulting in a total theoretical bandwidth of 1.6 Tb/s. However, in real-world applications, the effective speed is approximately 800 Gbps or 100 Gb/s.
A notable feature of the MXC technology is its use of optical connections rather than traditional physical ones. This eliminates the need for dust protection measures, significantly reducing the risk of failures in data center environments.
Corning claims that this fiber not only enhances the speed and efficiency of data transfer between servers but also lowers costs. It also supports Intel’s RSA (Rack Scale Architecture), enabling more flexible and scalable data center designs.
Beyond Corning, several other industry leaders such as US Conec, Tyco Electronics, and Molex have also announced their support for the MXC standard, further solidifying its potential as a key player in next-generation data communication.
