  • The optical module is integrated into the switch

    The optical module is integrated into the switch

    Co-Packaged Optics (CPO) is an optoelectronic co-packaging technology that integrates an optical module (responsible for optical signal transmission and reception) and a switch ASIC (responsible for electrical signal processing) into the same physical package. CPO optical modules put optical and electronic parts together. They make the signal path much shorter, from centimeters to millimeters. This can cut power use by up to half. CPO technology lets more data fit in a small space. For instance, in 800G optical modules utilizing M7 PCB interconnects, signal loss for 112Gbps PAM4 signals (with ~30 GHz bandwidth). The optical engine takes the form of a pluggable optical module.
