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.
