About this listen
The networking stack for AI infrastructure is being upgraded simultaneously — from backend intra-cluster connections to frontend switch-to-switch links. Facilities that can't support high-speed networking become bottlenecks that throttle hardware worth tens of millions per rack. This episode examines the cabling requirements for AI-scale compute.
Key topics covered:
- Backend connections migrating to 1.6T and 3.2T speeds
- NVIDIA Blackwell's 400-800 Gbps interconnect requirements
- SN-MT and MMC connectors tripling fiber density
- Fiber vs copper tradeoffs for AI networking
- Supply chain constraints on high-speed cabling
