Propel™
High speed fiber platform
Welcome to the new normal. Rising lane speeds, fewer resources, more complex connectivity and faster migration cycles. The rules of the game are changing across every environment—hyperscale, MTDCs and enterprise facilities of all sizes. You’re expected to manage it all, seamlessly and efficiently. Now you can. Meet Propel.
Propel is the modular, ultra-low-loss, high-speed fiber platform that effortlessly adapts as your needs, designs and speeds evolve. High-density fiber panels with interchangeable components and 16-fiber MPO connectivity enable you to scale and evolve across multiple generations. QR-coded components enable optical performance verification that makes installation, troubleshooting and management faster and easier.
Backed by the global reach of an industry leader, the Propel platform delivers the performance, support and product availability you need to thrive in a frenetic, fast-paced environment.
Propel™ - the high-speed fiber platform
Within hyperscale data centers, lane speeds are accelerating to 400G, 800G, 1.6T and beyond and fiber counts across all layers of the network are exploding. The growth represents the new normal as global data consumption continues to grow exponentially. Those responsible for managing and maintaining hyperscale infrastructures are challenged like never before to keep their networks future-ready and as efficient as possible. The Propel™ modular, ultra-low-loss, high-speed fiber platform enables them to do just that.

Preterminated cabling reduces install time and time to revenue while minimizing installer errors. |
Large enterprise data centers are under intense pressure to deliver consistently superior optical network performance to satisfy more demanding SLAs and to keep ahead of accelerating speeds. That means their physical layer infrastructure must deliver as well, supporting repeated migrations to higher speeds, seamless scaling and simplified deployment. It’s not enough to claim ultra-low-loss performance and high network reliability; vendors and their platforms must guarantee it. Today’s data center infrastructure must do so much more than connect. It must be the engine that propels the data center forward. That’s why CommScope developed Propel, the end-to-end, high-speed, ultra-low-loss fiber platform designed to meet the growing demands of large enterprise data centers.

Multitenant data centers (MTDCs) are no longer limited to smaller retail customers. Hyperscale providers and edge-based tenants needing higher-bandwidth/lower-latency performance are discovering the value of MTDC partnerships. To capitalize on their opportunities, MTDC network managers need a high-capacity infrastructure with the agility to adapt to faster speeds and increased application demands. The Propel™ all-modular, high-speed fiber platform provides the speed, flexibility and long-term support today’s MTDCs need.
