Intra data center

Transforming data centers for AI and 400G/800G+

Testing performance at scale

AI and mission-critical data centers rely on high-speed, high-density networks—any issue with optical fiber transmission can cause costly delays. Yet outdated testing slows deployment, increases errors, and risks induces downtime risks.

Accelerate the AI-driven transformation with EXFO’s lifecycle test solution for the inside plant data center networks. Test faster with expert-designed instruments supporting digitized workflows for seamless, future-proof deployment and operation.

Do more and faster, without ever compromising on quality

80% faster testing

  1. Prevent dirty connector issues: Ensure single, duplex and multi-fiber clean connectors with the same tool. 
  2. 1-second Tier-1 certification: Test loss, length, and polarity on duplex/multi-fiber links. 
  3. Streamlined workflow and reporting: Coordinate jobs, track progress in real-time and generate reports. 
  4. Easy Tier-2 characterization: Reduce training time and errors with one-touch, automatic bi-directional fiber characterization. 
  5. High-speed testing up to 800G: Support multiple rates, interfaces (including coherent), and transceivers on one platform.

Common pitfalls in building and operating data center networks

As networks evolve to support 800G+ and high-density fiber, crews face new challenges in the field: multiple and complex testing tools, long onboarding, and rising costs. EXFO’s solution simplifies optical fiber transmission testing across all cabling types and transmission speeds. With automated workflows and built-in expertise, we help you reduce errors, cut costs, and accelerate deployments—ensuring your network is ready for what’s next.

Network evolution bottleneck 

Traditional testers are not designed to support next-gen cabling (e.g., VSFF connectors), coherent optics, and 800G+ networks—creating bottlenecks that slow network upgrades and innovation. 

Testing and data management of high density networks 

Testing and managing data results of fiber-dense networks is a time-intensive challenge. Without efficient testing and reporting, delays and budget overruns are unavoidable. 

Too many tools, lengthy training, and rising costs 

Relying on multiple testers due to limited compatibility with different technologies increases the onboarding time of new technicians, reduces efficiency, and drives up both CAPEX and OPEX.

Hidden issues, costly consequences

Late detection of network or physical issues may cause failed acceptance or costly downtime, impacting critical applications and user experience.
