The shift to Co-Packaged Optics (CPO) and Near-Packaged Optics (NPO) delivers unprecedented bandwidth density (e.g., beyond 50 Tbps) and power efficiency directly to the ASIC. However, this tight integration creates a massive challenge: how do you manage hundreds of optical fibers connecting the optical engine to the front panel within a confined 2RU/3RU space?
Infinity Flex Modules are the indispensable solution. As a precision optical flex circuit, the module transforms chaotic, bulky fiber bundles into a consolidated, low-profile assembly. It directly interfaces with high-density chip-level connectors like FA or MT on the ASIC side, routing signals to standardized front-panel interfaces like LC, MPO/MTP, or VSFF connectors. The module’s flexible and stackable design maximizes airflow and minimizes clutter, crucial for the thermal management of high-power ASICs. Critically, it enables segregated testing (active vs. passive) through modular interfaces, facilitating the move toward open ecosystems where ASICs and optical engines from different vendors can be integrated. Infinity Flex Modules eliminate fiber management bottlenecks, ensuring you realize CPO’s full potential for high performance, high density, and improved serviceability.
