2025 Regenerative Agriculture Summit Sample Attendee List

As AI accelerates, the data center’s optical infrastructure faces unprecedented demands. To support this transformation, we knew that connectivity as usual wouldn’t cut it and explored a new dimension of fiber innovation, Spreadable Adapter Technology. This patented breakthrough streamlines installations, enhances port access, and reduces accidental disconnects, optimizing uptime in dense AI environments. Faster moves, adds, and changes minimize friction, saving time and reducing costs. As AI pushes data centers further and faster, Spreadable Adapters are redefining efficiencies at the physical layer. We’ll share how this technology is shaping AI networks and unlocking new possibilities for scalable, high-performance infrastructure solutions.
