Hengtong operates large-scale production for fiber cables and patch cords, covering outdoor duct/direct-buried cables, indoor flame-retardant cables, miniature high-density cables, and a full range of patch cords and pre-terminated assemblies. With both standardized and customized production, we can support large projects with concentrated delivery as well as multi-spec, small-batch requirements.
Compliance with major standards and certified quality
Our products are designed and manufactured in line with major international and industry standards relevant to data center cabling and safety. A comprehensive quality management and reliability verification system ensures consistent performance. Project-specific test reports and certifications are available to provide strong assurance for mission-critical data center operations.

For massive server farms and high-density racks, Hengtong's high-fiber-count cables and MTP/MPO pre-terminated solutions enable smooth migration to 40G/100G/400G/800G while reducing cabling complexity and expansion time.
Carrier & Internet Data Centers
By combining metro and campus fiber connectivity with structured in-room backbones and high-density panels, Hengtong delivers end-to-end optical paths from facility entrance to rack, improving network reliability and operational efficiency.
Enterprise Data Centers
Focusing on building backbones and rack cabling, Hengtong's indoor flame-retardant cables and flexible patching solutions preserve existing copper systems while creating a clear migration path toward all-fiber, higher-speed networks.
Edge & Micro Data Centers
For space-constrained, fast-deployed edge and micro data centers, Hengtong's compact Indoor Fiber Optic Cables and pre-terminated patching deliver highly integrated, plug-and-play connectivity that simplifies installation and maintenance.
End-to-End Optical Path: Campus to Rack
To support modern cloud and AI workloads, a data center network must work as a single, continuous optical path-from the outside plant and campus links all the way into each rack. Hengtong designs its data center connectivity solutions around this full path, combining outdoor and indoor fiber cables with high-performance patching to simplify architectures and future upgrades from 10G up to 800G.

Why Hengtong for Data Center Connectivity?
High Bandwidth, Smooth Migration
Hengtong fiber cabling supports structured network designs from 10G/25G all the way to 40G/100G/400G/800G and beyond.
Low-loss, high-bandwidth links are optimized for high-density MTP/MPO systems and short patching inside the rack, enabling simple, predictable migration to higher speeds without redesigning your entire cabling plant.
High Reliability for 24/7 Critical Workloads
Using high-quality G.652D and G.657 series fibers, Hengtong cables are engineered for mission-critical, always-on environments.
Mechanical strength, bending performance and long-term stability are tightly controlled, helping to maintain link integrity under real-world installation, routing and operational conditions.
Fast Deployment, Flexible Expansion
A wide range of indoor and outdoor cable constructions makes it easy to match the right product to each route-whether in ducts, trays, risers or directly into racks.
Factory pre-terminated cables and patch cords reduce on-site splicing and testing time, accelerating project delivery and simplifying future expansions.
Standards-Compliant & Ready for Green Data Centers
Hengtong solutions are designed to comply with major international and regional data center cabling and safety standards.
Options for low-smoke, zero-halogen and enhanced flame-retardant constructions support different facility safety levels and sustainability goals, helping customers move toward greener, more efficient data centers.
Hengtong Product Portfolio for Data Centers
To support end-to-end data center connectivity, Hengtong offers a focused portfolio of fiber solutions built around three core product families: outdoor cables, indoor cables and high-performance patching. These products can be combined and tailored to match different architectures, routes and deployment models.
