Co-Packaged & Pluggable Optics

21 September 2026 10:00 - 23:30

Join us for the Optica Online Industry Meeting on Co-Packaged & Pluggable Optics, exploring how next-generation optical interconnect technologies are addressing the growing bandwidth, power, and scalability demands of AI infrastructure and cloud computing. As traditional electrical interconnects approach their performance and efficiency limits, co-packaged optics, high-speed pluggable transceivers, and emerging optical I/O architectures are becoming essential to enabling scalable, high-performance datacenter systems.

This session will bring together hyperscalers, switch and system vendors, optical component suppliers, packaging specialists, foundries, and networking innovators to discuss the evolution of pluggable architectures and the role of co-packaged optics in AI-driven networks. Attendees will gain insights into thermal and packaging challenges, optical interconnect roadmaps, manufacturing scalability, emerging industry initiatives, and the trade-offs between performance, power efficiency, serviceability, and large-scale deployment in next-generation datacenter environments.
