Build a Fiber Future for Your Central Office or Headend
Rising bandwidth demands continue to drive central office/data center integration
Multi-service providers (MSOs) face a very different market than they did just a few years ago. Legacy architectures are limited and costly to maintain, and skilled expertise is harder than ever to find—all while residential and enterprise customers demand greater bandwidth and network uptime. 4K video streaming is giving way to 8K, online gaming is expanding its global reach, and virtualization and AI applications at the network edge demand nothing less than five nines of reliability.
The line between central office and data center isn’t just blurred anymore—it’s practically been erased.
Fiber fuels the future of new central office architectures
When service providers need to adopt new, future-ready architecture, they turn to CommScope for the optical fiber that delivers the bandwidth, efficiency and speed to establish a dependable migration path. For decades, CommScope has provided complete, end-to-end fiber and copper connectivity solutions built to deliver cutting-edge performance—and just as importantly, we build them for quick and easy deployment that reduces both installer expertise requirements and the likelihood of network-degrading installation errors. For service providers, there’s no doubt that fiber cabling will continue to dominate the infrastructure landscape in the era of central office consolidation after copper switch-off.
The end-to-end solution that delivers long-term value
CommScope connects service providers across the full path, from OSP cabling that enters the building to entrance solutions that facilitate high-density fiber splicing—and from optical distribution frames that support growing crossconnect fiber counts to multifiber cable assemblies, patch panels, fiber management raceways and more—all to support the most demanding applications, including data center interconnect (DCI) and fiber to the home (FTTH) applications.
Together, CommScope’s data center solutions for central office and headend environments enable greater efficiency, smoother migrations and the kind of bandwidth that customers demand.
CommScope builds and supports fiber optic solutions for today—and always with an eye on tomorrow.
