AFR Showcases Diverse Fiber Arrays at OFC 2026, Empowering Data Center Optical Interconnects
At OFC 2026, Advanced Fiber Resources (AFR), alongside its wholly-owned subsidiary Vlink, is highlighting key optical interconnect components for data centers, including fiber arrays, micro-collimator arrays, and high-density fiber connectors.
Backed by extensive process engineering experience, AFR has achieved stable, high-volume production of 800G, 1.6T FAU and made significant breakthroughs in multiple cutting-edge technical metrics, laying a solid foundation for future high-bandwidth demands. Tailored to the diverse application scenarios emerging from industry evolution, AFR has built a comprehensive interconnect portfolio:
- High-coupling-efficiency collimator FAU, for CPO applications
- Ultra-high-precision, ultra-high-density 2D and M×N FAU, for OCS and WSS applications
- Compact solutions featuring a high Polarization Extinction Ratio (PER), for Coherent PICs and other demanding environments
The stability of fundamental components directly impacts the system-level performance of data centers. Leveraging Vlink’s highly automated manufacturing lines and precision yield management systems, AFR turns cutting-edge R&D into stable, large-scale production. This synergy ensures consistent, high-volume delivery for global communication equipment vendors and cloud service providers. Join us at OFC 2026 to see why AFR is known as The FAU Company.
