Tracking the Advancement of Copper (UTP) and Fiber Optic Cables in Data Facilities
At the heart of modern IT landscape are data centers, which handle all major functions from standard cloud tasks to high-demand AI/ML applications. The two primary physical transmission technologies used for connectivity are copper-based UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair) cabling and optical fiber. Over the past three decades, both have evolved in signi
