Corning has introduced its GlassWorks Artificial Intelligence (AI) solutions, designed to assist operators in building data center infrastructures necessary for generative AI. This end-to-end portfolio features the new Contour Flow Cable, which aims to facilitate deployments in high-density data center networks.

The GlassWorks AI offering includes cable and connectivity solutions, along with network planning and design support. It addresses the challenges posed by the increasing scale and density demands of AI workloads both within data centers and in the long-haul networks that connect them.

Corning's Contour Flow Cable is notable for fitting double the fiber into the existing cable diameters, which simplifies and accelerates deployment within interconnected data center networks. This cable is part of a broader strategy to enhance high-density optical infrastructure, capable of supporting large clusters of graphical processing units (GPUs).

Sean Kelly, Vice President and Business Director for Corning's Data Center Business Unit, remarked on the new solutions, noting how the Contour Flow cable helps improve connections between city-to-city networks efficiently, while delivering optical performance without extensive infrastructure costs.

At the core of the Contour Flow Cable is Corning's smaller diameter SMF-28 Contour fiber, which enhances bend resilience suitable for high-density environments. This fiber technology enables the deployment of connectivity solutions that are crucial for high-density data center operations.

Corning representatives will showcase their GlassWorks AI solutions and the Contour Flow Cable at the upcoming Optical Fiber Communication Conference and Exposition (OFC) in April.
