It is hard to undersell the importance of Base-8 and Base-16 fiber optic cables. Supplying high speed and high-capacity, they ensure efficient and scalable data solutions. These represent incredible advancements that will help Proterial Cable America (PCA) stay at the forefront of high-performance cable solutions.
Base-8 and Base-16 fiber optic cables are specially designed to transmit data at high speeds. Usually, that means they are used in data centers because when data is transmitted at a data center, it’s vitally important that it’s done efficiently. The numbers in each of the cable’s names are there to indicate how many fibers are in the cable or subunit.
Modern transceivers typically contain 8 or 16 fibers, meaning the Base-8 and Base-16 cables align with them. If it is a Base-8 cable, that means that on each single connector, it transmits on 4 fibers and receives on 4, similarly Base-16 means it transmits on 8 fibers and receives on 8 fibers.
Essential for modern hyper-scale data centers, Base-8 and Base-16 cables can carry a lot of information very quickly. These are the obvious benefits, but what else makes the cables so innovative?

Using Base-8 and Base-16 fiber optic cables is a modern, efficient and cost effective way to transmit and receive data in a data center. But what about at a hyperscale data center? Do they still fit the bill?
According to the Data Center Coalition, a data center is “the foundation of the digital infrastructure on which our modern society and economy are built.” They are physical locations where data is kept by different organizations. The cloud is supported through data centers.
A Hyperscale Data Center is a particularly huge data center, transmitting incredible amounts of data. Typically, hyperscale data centers are associated with giant tech companies like Google or Microsoft.
Large data centers like a hyperscale data center need the capability to transmit and receive vast amounts of data, and Base-8 and Base-16 fiber optic cables can support the enormous requirements necessary. In short, the capacity of Base-8 and Base-16 cables can ensure that hyperscale data centers remain efficient and successful.
Base-8 and Base-16 cables are new and important cables, and with PCA on the forefront of the development, we have experts ready to walk you through the use and necessity of these new options in the fiber optic cable market.
