These vital facilities manage everything from e-commerce to complex machine learning initiatives, making them the center of digital services. Interlinking these systems are the two dominant physical media: UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair) copper and fiber optic cables. Over the past three decades, these technologies have advanced in remarkable ways, o
From Copper to Light: A History of UTP and Fiber Optic Innovation in Data Centers
In modern digital infrastructure, data centers are the powerhouses of the global internet—powering cloud platforms, Artificial Intelligence computations, and the global exchange of information. Supporting this complex system are two key physical components: UTP (copper) and optical fiber. Over the past three decades, these technologies have advan
