VIAVI Solutions will showcase advanced technologies for the validation of next generation artificial intelligence (AI) fabrics at scale at Optical Fibre Communication (OFC) 2026 from March 17-19, 2026 at the Los Angeles Convention Centre.
VIAVI will highlight its latest solutions designed to help customers meet the challenges of modern AI interconnects, ensuring that tightly coupled high-performance systems maintain required throughput, reliability and scalability. Demonstrations will include 1.6T Ethernet, transceiver, connectivity and silicon photonic manufacturing solutions, PCIe over optics, automated network test, and fibre sensing. VIAVI’s ONE LabPro and TestCenter platforms for OSI L0-3 traffic generation and analysis will be showcased, alongside the recently announced hollow-core fibre test solution and DCX-700 optical loss test set for testing up to 24 fibers simultaneously.
Highlighting the need for collaboration within the ecosystem, many of these demonstrations will be run in partnership with the Ethernet Alliance and the Fibre Optic Centre. Interoperability demonstrations featuring next-gen Ethernet technologies will be presented in collaboration with Amphenol, Celestica and other industry partners.
In addition, three new technologies will be unveiled at OFC 2026:
- New INX 700 probe microscopes featuring a more powerful battery system for uninterrupted, automated inspection of single and multifiber connectors. The new models are specifically engineered for hyperscale data centers, where long battery life and inspection speed are critical,
- The industry’s first high-density OSFP test platform to validate the interoperability, latency and power efficiency for next-generation 1.6T Ethernet infrastructure, delivering full line-rate performance for AI, cloud and hyperscale environments,
- A new distributed acoustic sensing product with real-time edge-based AI and machine learning capabilities.
