Telescent, a pioneer in Optical Circuit Switches (OCS) and automated fiber patch-panels, is set to showcase its latest breakthrough at the Optical Fiber Communications (OFC) 2025 conference. The company will present a live demonstration of its next-generation G5 optical patch panel, now equipped with MPO-16 connectors, enabling an unprecedented switching capacity of 16,128 fibers in a single rack.

Revolutionizing Fiber Connectivity for Hyperscale and AI-Driven Networks

As hyperscale data centers, AI clusters, and high-speed optical networks continue to expand, the demand for scalable, automated fiber management solutions has never been greater. Telescent’s new MPO-16 version of the G5 platform maintains its industry-leading number of ports but enhances efficiency by moving 16 fibers at a time. This innovation significantly increases system capacity, addressing the exponential growth of interconnects required for modern network infrastructure.

“Our latest MPO-16 connector innovation directly addresses the scalability and automation challenges faced by hyperscale operators and AI-driven networks,” said Anthony Kewitsch, CEO and Co-Founder at Telescent. “By enabling automated reconfiguration of fiber connections at scale with low-loss performance and built-in diagnostics, our solution streamlines operations, reduces downtime, and ensures optimal network efficiency.”

Advanced Automation and Integrated Diagnostics

The G5 platform continues to set the standard for optical connectivity with its low-loss optical connections and optional integrated diagnostics. These features allow network operators to test fiber links before activation, ensuring seamless deployment and enhanced reliability. By reducing operational costs and minimizing the risk of downtime, Telescent’s solution is an ideal fit for data center operators managing thousands of fiber connections.

Live Demonstration at OFC 2025

Attendees of OFC 2025 are invited to visit Telescent’s booth #5507 for a firsthand look at the G5 system with MPO-16 connectors. The live demonstration will showcase how this groundbreaking solution is transforming large-scale fiber connectivity with automation, scalability, and efficiency.
