Space-Saving Revolution: BizLink Launches High-Density WDM Cassette with High-Density Connectors

Opportunities to maximize space use and simplify installation in AI-ready data centers and telecom networks on display at OFC 2025

Fremont, USA, 25 March 2025 - BizLink, a leading global supplier of interconnect solutions, today announced the launch of its revolutionary high-density WDM cassette. Engineered to meet the escalating demands of central offices, data centers, and LAN environments, this cutting-edge cassette delivers an unprecedented 216 LC ports within a standard 1RU space. Leveraging a patented design, it addresses critical customer pain points by optimizing space, streamlining installation, and enhancing scalability in high-density fiber optic network deployments. BizLink will display the new solution at OFC 2025 from Apr 1- 3 in San Francisco, USA, at booth # 5644 / 5646 in North Hall.

In an era where network infrastructure must support ever-increasing data loads, space and operational efficiency are paramount. The Bizlink high-density WDM cassette offers the highest port density available in a standard 19-inch 1RU chassis, allowing operators to expand connectivity without additional physical space. This innovation is ideal for hyperscale data centers, telecom networks, and other high-density settings where maximizing panel space is a priority.


Key Features and Benefits

• Unmatched Space Efficiency: Achieves up to 216 LC ports in a single 1RU space, setting a new benchmark for density and enabling significant space savings.
• Effortless Installation and Maintenance: Designed for ease of use, the cassette simplifies deployment and connector upkeep, reducing technician time and operational costs.
• Scalable Design: Supports up to six cassettes per chassis, secured by magnets for quick adjustments, offering flexibility to scale with growing network demands.
• Integrated Fiber Management: Provides a built-in solution to keep fibers organized and accessible, minimizing errors and simplifying maintenance.
• Versatile Configurations: Available in MPO and MMC variants to maximize WDM channel and device utilization. Among them, the half-U 64xWDM and 48xWDM cassettes with MPO termination have already been delivered in high volumes. Termination with MMC 16 fibers as well as 24 fibers is under development.
• Enhanced Performance: Pairs with Bizlink’s state-of-the-art patented ultra-compact and ultra-low loss free space WDM technology to deliver exceptional reliability, efficiency, and minimal signal loss.

Broad Applications for Maximum Versatility

The high-density WDM cassette is designed not only as an industry-leading solution for WDM packaging but also as a multifunctional platform that adapts to diverse network needs:

• WDM Packaging: Serves as the cornerstone application, delivering high-density wavelength division multiplexing including CWDM/DWDM with exceptional efficiency and performance.
• MPO/LC and MPO/MMC Patch Panel: Organizes and manages a large number of fiber connections in a compact footprint, simplifying network expansions and maintenance.
• Splice Patch Panel: Enables seamless splicing and patching of fibers, accelerating installation processes and minimizing downtime.
• Splitter Cassette: Houses optical splitters to distribute signals across multiple outputs, making it ideal for passive optical networks (PON) and similar applications.
• Network TAP (Test Access Point) Module: Integrates test access points for effortless network monitoring and diagnostics, ensuring performance without operational interruptions.

This broad applicability positions the cassette as an essential tool for network operators, data center managers, and telecom providers looking to streamline and future-proof their infrastructure.
