The new module incorporates up to sixteen 25 Gbps x 4 Samtec FireFly™ optical transceivers offering 1. The module supports Data Center, HPC, and FPGA-to-FPGA protocols including Ethernet, InfiniBand ™, Fibre Channel, PCI Express®, and CXL®. Co-packaged optics (CPO) (Figure 1) increases bandwidth by exchanging FPPs for small, high-density connectors. To address this, Macom and NVIDIA first proposed Linear-drive Pluggable Optics (LPO) in 2022. XPO represents a new class of optical pluggable module designed specifically for next-generation AI data center fabrics. Being an industry group uniting representatives of the data and optical worlds, OIF's purpose is to accelerate the deployment of interoperable, cost-effective and robust optical internetworks and their associated technologies. Cisco Routed Optical Networking is designed to offer a simplified architecture to scale Data Center Interconnect (DCI) and create opportunities to reduce operating costs and lower energy consumption.
