Clearfield announced the launch of its NOVA™ Platform, a modular high‑density fiber ecosystem designed to accelerate network deployments in data centers, enterprise campuses, and broadband central offices.
The NOVA Cassette is a tool‑less, 4‑U panel that supports up to 384 LC fibers, with front‑of‑rack technician access and the flexibility to install from either the front or rear, simplifying installation and reducing downtime.
The launch is part of Clearfield’s strategy to expand beyond broadband into high‑growth data‑center and enterprise segments, targeting the 100G‑plus optics market that is projected to double in data‑center fiber demand over the next decade.
Chief Commercial Officer Anis Khemakhem said the platform “empowers operators to streamline training, reduce inventory sprawl, and grow their networks without rethinking their entire approach.” CEO Cheri Beranek added that the platform positions Clearfield to leverage AI and edge‑computing opportunities and enable existing customers to serve as edge providers.
Clearfield will showcase the NOVA Platform at BICSI Winter 2026, scheduled for January 18‑22 in Orlando, Florida, where live demos of patch panels, wall‑mount panels, and rack‑and‑cabinet solutions will be presented.
Clearfield’s Q4 2025 earnings, released November 25 2025, showed net sales of $41.1 million, up 13% YoY, and a net income of $0.13 per diluted share, a turnaround from a net loss in the prior year quarter. The company’s cash and investments stood at approximately $166 million, providing a strong balance sheet to support the new platform.
For fiscal 2026, Clearfield guided revenue of $160‑$170 million and EPS of $0.48‑$0.62, reflecting confidence in continued demand for high‑density fiber solutions and the expected adoption of the NOVA Platform.
The launch represents a significant operational milestone, positioning Clearfield to capture a growing share of the high‑density fiber market and to strengthen its competitive stance against established players by offering a tool‑less, high‑density solution that reduces installation time and inventory complexity.
