Innovation at W2W
Innovation is a culture at Wave2Wave Solution throughout our global organization. It is the unsettling of the
status quo, the drive for the better and the excitement to take on challenges.
Innovation is a deliverable at Wave2Wave. The ideas and inspirations often come from listening to our customers.
We take on tough requirements, we think outside of the box and we create ground breaking solutions:
• Introduced Micro-Core™ fiber bundles, and later Slim-Patch™ with 10 times of the density
• Made “cables fly” with KITE™ solution
• Designed a 2000 SFP+ / QSFP+ cable fabric for data center spine-leaf architecture
Innovation is a capability. Wave2Wave has the in-house expertise across optical, electrical and mechanical
engineering domains. A highly collaborative team enables us to create integrated products. For example, we
pioneered a product that involves fiber shuffling, index matching, two stage epoxy curing and EMI shielding.
Innovation is a strive to simplify, simplify and simplify. Connect-123™ is revolutionizing how products are
delivered and deployed. Whether it is turning up a high performance switch or a mission critical data center,
Connect-123™ offers a “in-a-box” turn-key solution. Simplifying also goes deeply in our operation processes,
including manufacturing, packaging and even shipping/receiving.
At Wave2Wave, innovation is the way to deliver business to our customers.

Data Center Architecture
FIRE™ WDM System - A Single Mode Data Center
Data centers have been going through increasingly faster migrations from OM2, to OM3, OM4, and OM4+. The question
is: why not Single Mode? Single Mode fiber offers the opportunity to transmit colored wavelengths over each single fiber
strand, which “virtualizes” the physical cable plant and maximizes the utilization of infrastructure resources.
Silicon Photonics, as the latest technology, drives towards the Single Mode (SM) data center connectivity from component
level. The future is already around the conner and the promise is faster, cheaper and future-proof.
FIRE™ WDM system introduces DAC connection on tributary interfaces and offers vendor agonistic solution, which reduces
CAPEX and OPEX.
FIRE™ WDM system sends a heart beat every few milliseconds, through each fiber and wavelength connection. Signal
degradation and service loss can be prevented through the intelligence that FIRE™ brings. Further redundancy and
protection are also added, so service is always on.

Data Center Architecture
EXO™ Connectivity Hub
EXO™ is a connectivity hub that enables fractional QSFP+ 40G configuration at the SFP+ 10G levels. EXO aggregates
connectivity in a data center for fiber (LC, MTP) and copper connections, all in the same 1RU modular chassis. This solution
is well-suited for SME (small and medium enterprise) and other applications where equipment is being connected in
1–3 adjacent racks.
In addition, this unique chassis allows for seamless flexibility to connect to existing cabling infrastructure. Add up to 48
ports of Duplex LC, CAT6 RJ45 or high-density MTP adapters. Any data lane from any device connected to back of the hub
can be directed to any device connected to the front of the hub. Lane shuffling is done in a simple feed-through format.

Data Center Architecture
Data Center Zoning
It’s important to design a large data center architecture that’s simple and scalable with redundancy in the backbone
interconnects. It’s crucial to design a hierarchy that simplifies the data center management, while in the meantime
allowing the maximum level of direct interconnect to maintain the highest degree of performance.

Fiber Cabling
Middle of the Rack
As data centers are populated with increasingly high density switches and servers, cabling architecture must evolve in
order to support manageability, scalability and performance. Traditionally, top of the rack (TOR) has been the de facto
standard of cabling architecture with patch panel and connectivity switches installed on the top of the rack. The rational
behind this is for backbone cabling from the ladder cable tray connect to a rack with the shortest reach. Today, in-rack
cabling is becoming a larger part of the connectivity and middle of the rack (MOR) is becoming more superior to TOR in
many cases, such as high performance computing, blade server configuration and high density switching.

Rack & Stack 123™
Rack & Stack 123™
Rack and Stack is an integration process where switches, servers, storage and power distribution equipment is installed and
interconnected in a rack or cabinet. Cable quality, identification, connection and routing are critical aspects in creating a reliable
and serviceable system.
Rack and stack simplifies asset management, logistics, implementation as well as the overall business processes. A rack of
equipment and cabling is often treated as a single SKU to the end user customers.
Utilizing a W2W custom cable bundle, as opposed to cabling the rack subsystems on a cable by cable basis, will speed and
simplify the integration process, is cost effective and greatly improves serviceability.

Fiber Optic Patch Cords
Fiber optic networking cabling is replacing copper wire due to
its many advantages such as increased speed, bandwidth and
distance. Fiber is well-suited for high-bandwidth applications,
extended distances (e.g. as a network backbone), and situations
that require complete protection from electrical interference.
Wave2Wave’s fiber optic patch cords have superior construction
to preserve the quality of signal transmission at the cross-connect,
which is critical to the performance of the entire cabling system.
Wave2Wave provides high-quality fiber optic patch cords that are
designed to exceed industry specifications.
Every fiber cable is GR-326-CORE and RoHS compliant. The cables
are tested and individually packaged with descriptive labeling
included. Our fiber optic cables are designed for a high degree
of flexibility and customization. By providing virtually limitless
options, we ensure you will receive cables designed for your
specific needs. Cable can be ordered in a variety of connector
styles (including new mini-LC connectors), fiber types, and lengths.
All Wave2Wave fiber optic cables are labeled with a part number,
serial number, barcode number and product name at each end to
simplify the installation and servicing process.
