Eagle Way in Action
Global fiber optics leader Prysmian and hollow-core fiber innovator Relativity Networks together developed a high-density hollow core fiber (HCF) cable to support rapidly increasing demand for AI data center deployment; this product is now the world's densest HCF cable to date.
Testing at Dura-Line’s flagship test facility in Clinton, Tennessee confirmed the reliable installation of the cable at jetting speeds of up to 350 ft/min, demonstrating the technology’s readiness for real-world deployment and marking a meaningful technical step forward for the development of cutting-edge AI optical infrastructure and data center networks.
"Testing at Dura-Line's Clinton facility confirmed our highest-density hollow-core cable to date installs reliably in standard MicroDucts — a critical proof point on the path to real-world deployment. Clinton’s world-class facility gave us a controlled environment to validate that with Dura-Line's technical team directly. "
— Kevin Reynolds, Chief of Staff and Business Manager Relativity
