At the 29th United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP29) held in Azerbaijan, SENKO was honored to join the global agenda of addressing climate change challenges and promoting sustainable development. SENKO Assistant Senior Technical Expert Takeshi Kasai attended the conference and demonstrated the crucial role of innovative optical connectivity solutions in building a sustainable and interconnected future.
The core agenda of the conference focuses on global emissions reduction, clean energy transformation, and environmental protection strategies. SENKO’s participation demonstrates the company’s leading position in the integration of cutting-edge technology and sustainable development goals, which follows the PReSS framework: namely, performance excellence, high reliability, scalability, and emphasis on sustainability.

SENKO is committed to achieving sustainable connectivity

With the expansion of data centers and global networks, the impact of fiber optic deployment on the environment cannot be ignored, especially in terms of plastic usage. SENKO is addressing this challenge through the following measures:

Reduce plastic consumption: by using Very Small Form Factor (VSFF) connectors such as SN ® And SN ®- Compared to traditional MPO connectors, MT has reduced plastic usage by 43%

Eliminating redundant components: The design of VSFF eliminates the need for MPO to LC distribution modules, minimizing material usage in large-scale deployments

Actual impact: A case study on the deployment of backbone cables in a 3456 core data center showed that SENKO’s VSFF solution reduced plastic weight by 20.09 kilograms, equivalent to a reduction of 366.42 kilograms of carbon dioxide equivalent emissions.

This reduction not only lowers the environmental footprint, but also highlights the crucial role of high-density and sustainable solutions in improving the efficiency of modern networks.

Drive innovation in performance and reliability

The rise of generative artificial intelligence and quantum computing has intensified the demand for robust and high-performance networks. SENKO ensures the highest standards of network and service performance and reliability through the following methods:

Enhanced signal integrity: The design of VSFF connectors can minimize insertion loss (IL) and return loss (RL), which is crucial for high bandwidth transceivers such as 400G and 800G.

Cleaning standards: Even pollutants as small as 2-15 microns may reduce network performance. SENKO follows IEC standards to maintain cleanliness and reliability of connection points, thereby reducing network failures and improving signal quality.

Strict testing: SENKO connectors comply with GR-326-CORE and GR-1435 standards and undergo environmental and mechanical stress testing to ensure long-term reliability for ultra large scale data centers.

Scalability for Future Networks

With the exponential growth of data traffic, networks must efficiently scale without sacrificing performance or sustainability. SENKO is at the forefront of scalability solutions:

High density connection: SN ®- MT connectors can achieve higher fiber density while reducing complexity, while MPO EZ-WAY connectors can be installed face-to-face, thereby improving rack space efficiency.

Future oriented automation: SENKO’s automated patch panel achieves software driven physical layer management, simplifying connection processes, reducing human errors, and optimizing resource utilization.

In addition, SENKO also supports modern network architectures such as the leaf spine model, which can improve the scalability and redundancy of data centers. By adopting a future oriented design, SENKO ensures that the network can develop in sync with technological advancements.

Showcasing Leadership at COP29

At COP29, SENKO showcased how sustainable optical connectivity solutions can serve as a bridge between environmental responsibility and technological progress. SENKO’s participation highlights the importance of integrating sustainable development into the core of technological development on a global scale. SENKO’s measures not only effectively reduce carbon emissions and material waste, but also ensure that network infrastructure can cope with the booming needs of emerging fields such as artificial intelligence, cloud computing, and quantum technology.
