Unlike traditional single-core fibers with just one light path, Multi-Core Fiber (MCF) places multiple cores inside a single cladding, multiplying capacity while keeping the cable size the same.
Why it matters
Boosts subsea data capacity by 4x or more.
Enables efficient scaling without laying more cable.
Fan-In/Fan-Out devices connect MCF to standard single-core equipment, ensuring seamless compatibility with existing SLTE and landing stations.
TPU: World’s First Real Deployment
The Taiwan–Philippines–U.S. (TPU) subsea system will be the first in the world to deploy Multi-Core Fiber. This milestone marks the start of a new era in transoceanic capacity scaling.
Where we are now
We’re currently in progress with the TPU Submarine Line Terminal Equipment (SLTE) deployment. We’ll keep you updated with our progress and new learnings as we move forward.
Stay tuned!
