Co-Packaged Optics
Co-Packaged Optics (CPO) is an advanced technology that integrates optical components—such as lasers, photonics engines, and fiber connectors—directly next to electronic chips like switches or ASICs inside the same package. Instead of sending data through traditional copper connections, CPO uses optical signals, dramatically increasing bandwidth while reducing power consumption.
In simple terms, Co-Packaged Optics brings light-speed data transmission inside the chip package, enabling faster and more energy-efficient communication than ever before.
