CPO Switches are Here!

Are CPO data center switches ready for market? Near Margalit, GM and VP of Optical Systems Division from Broadcom, answers:

  • Demonstrating the reliability of core silicon photonics technology: Margalit emphasizes the need to prove to the market that the core silicon photonics technology is reliable and that this reliability will translate to box-level reliability, similar to pluggable modules.
  • Establishing the economic and total cost of ownership benefits of CPO technology: He highlights the importance of showing a clear economic and total cost of ownership benefit of using CPO technology over pluggable modules.
  • Addressing the time-to-market criticism of CPO technology: Margalit discusses the criticism of CPO technology's time to market, explaining that as they move from the 25 terabit generation to 51T and beyond, the time between when CPO technology is available to integrate with the switch and when that switch comes to market is decreasing.
