As AI workloads push the limits of bandwidth, power efficiency, and system density, the industry is rearchitecting connectivity, bringing optics and copper interfaces closer to compute and switching silicon. TE Connectivity is helping enable this shift with a broad portfolio of integrated optical, copper, and thermal innovations for scalable, high-performance AI data center architectures. At this year’s OFC, TE will feature a breakthrough capability for high-density fiber array units (FAUs), enabled by TE’s recent acquisition of 𝗥𝗔𝗠 𝗣𝗵𝗼𝘁𝗼𝗻𝗶𝗰𝘀. Leveraging advanced active alignment and automated optical fiber fusion splicing, this technology delivers industry-leading density, manufacturing scalability, and lower insertion loss. TE will feature a combination of demonstrations and technology exhibits highlighting our expanding optical portfolio for AI data centers: • Co‑packaged copper (CPC) to co‑packaged optics (CPO) architecture, featuring 1.6T Linear Receive Optics (LRO) enabled by TE’s AdrenaLINE Catapult ultra-high-density connectors alongside 3.2T CPO integration. • CPO to optical backplane system, illustrating an end-to-end passive optical path across the rack integrating CPO/NPO sockets, FAUs, External Laser Small Form Pluggable (ELSFP) connectivity, blind-mate optical connectors, and a high-density optical backplane with front-panel connectivity and integrated liquid cooling. • Additional demonstrations include 1.6T LRO high-speed cable assemblies, optical transceivers, and FAU technology supporting next-generation optical interconnect architectures. Visit us at OFC 2026 (South Hall, Booth 649) to see how TE is enabling high‑performance architectures for the next generation of AI and high‑speed networks.

Engineering used to move in predictable cycles. Design. Test. Launch. Now the timeline is shrinking, and engineers are being asked to iterate faster, make decisions earlier, and solve problems before the specs are fully clear. What does engineering look like when innovation moves this fast? We dig in on the next episode of the Our Connected World podcast, launching March 18. #OurConnectedWorld

Congratulations to Malavika Sagar, Chief Human Resources Officer at TE Connectivity, featured as the cover story in CIO Views Magazine and recognized among the Top 10 Inspiring Business Women to Follow in 2026. In the conversation, Malavika shares her perspective on leading people through a rapidly changing world of work shaped by advancing technology, evolving employee expectations, and the growing need for organizations to stay flexible and resilient. She also reflects on the responsibility leaders carry, guiding organizations through complexity, investing in people at every stage of their careers, and staying grounded in purpose while navigating change. For Malavika, the heart of leadership remains the same: creating the conditions for people to succeed and grow, wherever they are in the organization.

Constraints don’t limit great engineering. They sharpen it. Chad focuses on straightforward, manufacturable solutions that meet real-world constraints: cost, scale, and reliability. That’s how engineering moves forward. #EngineeredtoInnovate #TEConnectivity #EveryConnectionCounts

In 2025, over 10,000 employees were trained in Sustainability as a Competitive Advantage, not as a checkbox but to see their work differently. 84% of employees reported feeling engaged. That means 84% of our people understand how what they do connects to where we're going. Progress does not happen automatically. It happens because people keep showing up. https://lnkd.in/gBFSB8p7

Five years ago, One Connected World began with a belief. That long-term progress is built through consistent action, not headlines. Today, we're proud to share the 2025 One Connected World Report. 80% reduction in Scope 1 and 2 emissions since 2020. Over 6 million people impacted through STEM education. 87% renewable electricity globally. 56 global Zero Waste to Landfill sites. This progress belongs to our teams, our partners, and everyone who believes that connection is how progress lasts. Read the full report here: https://lnkd.in/gBFSB8p7

High data rates. Tighter layouts. No margin for signal loss. As systems evolve toward 56G and beyond, the real question is not how fast you can go but how to move forward without rebuilding everything. That is where MezzaWave connectors come in. Designed to support up to 56 Gbps PAM4 with drop-in compatibility and flexible configurations, they help engineers upgrade performance while protecting existing architectures. Because in high-speed design, progress should feel scalable, not disruptive. How are you approaching your next 56G upgrade? https://lnkd.in/dz7WxT6R #MezzaWave #TEConnectivity #Mezzanine #56G #EdgeAI #FPGA #EDA #PAM4 #ModularDesign
