  • Advantages of CPO optical modules

    Advantages of CPO optical modules

    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. Today, data centers use a separate approach for optics and electronics, in which optical modules are connected to switches and routers through high-speed electrical interfaces. This exceptional efficiency stems from several factors: • Shorter electrical paths.
