CPO phases out optical modules
Due to the rise of 5G, IoT, AI, and high-performance computing applications, datacenter trafic has grown at a compound annual growth rate of nearly 30%. The conventional pluggable optics increases at a much slower rate than that of datacenter trafic. Finally, this section remarks on the next milestone in the future of pho-tonic interconnect for HPC networking. Co-packaged Optics (CPO) is an advanced packaging tech-nology for optoelectronic devices that involves upgrades in system architecture, chip fabrication, and packaging.

Is there still hope for CPO optical modules
Small amounts of CPO may start to appear in 2026, but real deployment at scale looks more likely to arrive in 2027/8 or later. Co-packaged optics (CPO) technology, a key enabler for next-generation data center architectures, promises unprecedented bandwidth density and power efficiency by tightly integrating optical engines with switch silicon. As AI clusters push beyond 100 Tb/s per node, the gap between what silicon can generate and what traditional copper interconnects can deliver is widening fast. From Jensen Huang showcasing CPO switches at GTC 2025 to a wide range of vendors demonstrating optical engines integrated inside ASIC packages at OFC 2025, CPOs are everywhere. However, it's worth noting that Andy Bechtolsheim, co-founder of Arista and a long-standing visionary in data centre. In recent years, optical transceiver technology has been steadily shifting toward placing the optics closer to the Application-Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC).

Two gigabit optical modules combined
Combo PON (Combined PON) emerges as a future-proof solution, enabling seamless coexistence of GPON and XGS-PON on the same optical distribution network (ODN). As demand for high-speed broadband grows exponentially, network operators face the challenge of upgrading legacy Gigabit Passive Optical Network (GPON) systems while transitioning to next-gen multi-gigabit XGS-PON technologies. Since Adtran pioneered XGS-PON, there has been an ongoing industry debate regarding when and where a fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) network operator should employ fiber broadband services using GPON. The laser driver provides optimum performance with reliable dual loop extinction ratio control and eye-shaping. Get the pluggable module performance you need from the manufacturer of choice for major networking equipment vendors worldwide. This document provides technical descriptions, applications, and compatibility information for the following categories of optics modules in the Cisco ® ONS product family: ● Gigabit Interface Converter (GBIC) ● Small Form-Factor Pluggable (SFP) ● 10-Gigabit Small Form-Factor Pluggable (XFP) ●. Compact size, low power consumption and optional optical diagnostic interface decided about populatiry of those modules.
