OptiQ AI™: HFCL's Integrated Optical Connectivity Solution for 800G+ Bandwidth Networks

99.999% Uptime | 2.7x Density | 40% Lower TCO

The Five Pillars of OptiQ AI™

HFCL's unified optical connectivity portfolio for AI, cloud and hyperscale infrastructure.

High Quality

High-quality optical infrastructure ensures clean signal integrity, ultra-low latency, and reliable data transmission, protecting AI training, and mission-critical operations from performance loss.



Quantum Bandwidth

High-bandwidth optical connectivity enables faster communication, supports next-generation AI speeds, and scales seamlessly as AI infrastructure grows.

Densely Quantified

Higher fiber density allows more connectivity within the same footprint, maximizing rack utilization, increasing compute capacity, and reducing infrastructure expansion costs.

Quick Rollout

Faster installation and simplified deployment reduce complexity, shorten commissioning timelines, and enable AI infrastructure to become operational sooner.

Q-Class Uptime

Highly reliable optical infrastructure minimizes downtime, improves resilience, speeds up recovery, and keeps critical AI workloads running continuously while lowering operational costs.

The OptiQ AI™ Product Portfolio

High-Density Fiber Solutions for AI Data Centers

Optical Fiber

ITU-T compliant fibers, including Eka and bend-insensitive G.657.A1/A2 variants, engineered for low attenuation, zero water peak and tight macro-bend resilience, the foundation of every OptiQ AI™ cable and assembly.

High-Density IBR Microcables

IBR cables with industry-leading fiber density and 144F per 1U reclaim pathway and panel space as sellable capacity, while modular cassettes make tenant changes fast and non-disruptive.

Fiber Pigtails, Patch Cords, Trunks and Assemblies

Factory-terminated, plug-and-play MPO trunks, distribution assemblies, duplex patch cords and pigtails with high-density MPO and VSFF connector options, supporting 100G through 800G and ready for 1.6T migration.

Cassettes and Panels

Ultra-high-density patch panels, MPO cassettes, adapter and splice modules up to 144 fibers per 1U. Modular architecture transitions trunks to duplex without field splicing, with bend-radius protection and polarity management.

Case Studies

1 / 3

VSFF Connectivity for AI and Hyperscale
Data Centers

As 800G and 1.6T AI networks outgrow traditional fiber footprints, VSFF connectors multiply port density in the same rack space, without compromising optical performance.

Dual-ecosystem assemblies

HFCL's VSFF portfolio spans both US Conec and SENKO: SN, MDC, MMC, and SN-MT connectors.

Half the size, more ports

SN and MDC duplex connectors are less than half the size of duplex LC, aligned to QSFP-DD/OSFP breakout for 800G and beyond.

2.7x the density

MMC and SN-MT array connectors deliver 2.7X MPO density with lower insertion loss.

Full-chain coverage

High performance optical fibers ensuring low loss, strong reliability, and seamless high speed transmission across DWDFrom 288F inter-rack cabling to 6912F DCI trunks and ultra-high-density 1RU panels.M, CWDM, metro, access, and CATV networks

Certified, pre-terminated deployment

Factory-terminated assemblies eliminate field terminations, backed by US Conec MMC-CERT and SENKO VSFF certifications.

Sustainable by design

Better airflow, lower cooling energy, more capacity without building new data centers.

Built for Every Layer of the AI Buildout

AI Training Clusters and GPU Back-End Networks

Thousands of GPUs exchanging east-west traffic in tight synchronisation, where one degraded link slows the entire run. High-density trunks, low-loss assemblies and polarity-managed cassettes keep every GPU-to-GPU path clean and serviceable.

Hyperscale and Cloud Data Centers

At hyperscale, cabling is a supply chain problem as much as an engineering one. Factory-terminated, pre-tested assemblies arrive ready to plug, cutting field termination and testing cycles, so halls go live sooner.

Colocation and Multi-Tenant Facilities

In colocation, rack space is the product. Sub-10mm IBR cables and 144F per 1U reclaim pathway and panel space as sellable capacity, while modular cassettes make tenant changes fast and non-disruptive.

Data Center Interconnect (Campus and Metro)

AI doesn't live in one building. Training clusters, inference sites and storage span campuses and metro rings; IBR microcables up to 6912F multiply capacity through existing ducts without new civil works.

Brownfield Capacity Expansion

Not every AI build starts greenfield. High-density microcables jet through occupied 20/25mm microducts and existing pathways, multiplying fiber capacity without ripping out live infrastructure or pausing operations.
