Abstract

Conventional interconnect cabling is inadequate to handle the terabit speed requirements of switching and routing in the Central Office. In this paper, we propose a solution of parallel optical channels that consist of a flat ribbon cable, with 24 multimode fibers and a special matching 24-pin fiber-array connector that feeds 12 VCSE transmitters and 12 receivers. The 24-fiber flat ribbon design provides greater fiber density and smaller bend radius than conventional cables. In addition, the 24-fiber flat ribbon meets all environmental tests.
