Relativity Networks announced in a press release that it raised $22 million through a SAFE investment and secured a $40 million order from a hyperscaler for its ChronoCore optical networking technology. The order followed testing that linked two data centers using ChronoCore.

New investors in the financing included Rhapsody Venture Partners, Bell Ventures, and Faster Than Glass. The company said the round raised more than double its target.

Relativity Networks also reported a manufacturing milestone with Prysmian. The companies produced a hollow core fiber cable with 24 fibers in a single 10 millimeter cable. In testing with Dura-Line, the cable was installed in standard microducts.

ChronoCore hollow core fiber is produced at Prysmian's facility in Eindhoven, the Netherlands, and cabled at Prysmian's plant in Claremont, North Carolina. Relativity Networks said couplers, fiber characterization, and installation training are handled in Orlando, Florida.
