LIBERTY LAKE, WA — January 19, 2026 — Amphenol Network Solutions today announced the launch of FiberVault™, a hyperscale Optical Distribution Frame engineered to solve some of the most difficult challenges facing modern data centers: soaring fiber counts, limited space, complex maintenance workflows, and rising pressure to protect uptime while deploying capacity faster than ever.
“FiberVault was born directly from hyperscale customer challenges,” said Harley McAllister, Senior Product Manager at Amphenol Network Solutions. “AI-driven networks are deploying four to five times more fiber than traditional environments, and old approaches to frame design and labeling simply don’t work anymore. With FiberVault, we’re giving operators extreme density, lower-loss splicing and, most importantly, a simple, light-guided way to confirm exactly which circuit they’re working on, without taking traffic down.”
Solving AI-Scale Fiber Density, Uptime, and Day-2 Operations
AI and GPU clusters require dense mesh topologies, driving fiber counts into the hundreds of thousands per site. With 5,760 splices per frame (11,520 back-to-back), tracing and validating fibers manually becomes unrealistic at scale.
FiberVault addresses this by:
- Supporting true mesh networks with single-fiber splicing: Operators can map any fiber to any other while maintaining the low loss, low reflection, and long-term reliability of fusion splices.
- Reducing risk during Day-2 moves, adds, and changes: Pivoting shelves and organized splice capacities improve access and protect adjacent circuits to avoid service disruptions.
- Speeding installation with pre-assembled frames: Shipped fully welded and ready to deploy, FiberVault can be placed and used immediately. Factory-installed shelves eliminate assembly labor and can cut weeks from large rollouts.
- Ensuring supply chain reliability: Frames are manufactured in North America for faster delivery and greater availability.
Industry-First Tracer Fiber System for Light-Guided Circuit Identification
FiberVault introduces a new tracer fiber system that enables light-guided circuit identification in high-density, splice-only environments, which is something traditional connector-based labeling cannot support at scale.
Instead of relying on cable labels, FiberVault uses a three-fiber jumper: two fibers carry live traffic, and a third tracer fiber routes to an accessible window on the front of each shelf. Technicians connect a standard VFL to one end, and the light appears at the corresponding window on the far side, instantly confirming the correct circuit. This allows teams to validate live connections without interruption, perform Day-2 moves, adds, and changes with confidence, and replace time-consuming manual tracing with a fast, repeatable process.
Unlike competing systems that simply store excess fiber, FiberVault makes the tracer path fully usable and visible from the front, an industry-first approach to circuit identification with tracer fiber and VFL technology.
Looking ahead, Amphenol Network Solutions is evolving the platform to support mass fusion splicing and connectorized patch-and-splice options, allowing customers to grow with the system as their architectures and densities change.
