Fiber Testing in Data Centers – Bringing Theory and Practice Workshop
This workshop aims to provide participants with both a theoretical foundation and hands-on experience in modern fiber testing methodologies, specifically tailored to data center environments. As data rates increase and infrastructure complexity grows, accurate and efficient fiber testing becomes critical. The session will cover the essential testing principles, introduce the latest testing tools, and conclude with a practical component demonstrating real-world applications.
The workshop will also introduce an innovative topic: Measurement techniques for hollow core fiber (HCF). HCF is emerging as a promising solution for ultra-low latency and high-capacity applications, presenting new challenges for testing and validation. Participants will gain early insights into how this technology is tested and what its adoption means for future measurement practices.
