What the current evidence supports
Human editorial judgment · 2026-08-20
Proceed with caution
- Why
- Vendor power/efficiency numbers are strong and from primary docs, and independent field data (Meta/Broadcom 1M+ flap-free hours, 8.2M-hr MTBF, 65% optics-power cut) is encouraging, but CPO serviceability risk and the slipped 2026 Ethernet timing make it a deep-infra bet, not a general adopt.
- Next
- Pilot only at hyperscale AI-fabric scale where the 30W->9W per-port and 22dB->4dB loss wins justify CPO; require a field-replaceable optical sub-assembly + ELSFP design and a vendor MTBF/serviceability SLA before any production commit.
