Co-Packaged Optics integrates photonic engines directly onto switch ASICs, eliminating front-panel pluggable modules. This guide covers the CPO architecture, power and density advantages over pluggable transceivers, the Broadcom Bailly and NVIDIA roadmaps, OIF 3.2T CPO standards, and when CPO will realistically displace OSFP in production AI fabrics. Includes comparison tables, timeline projections, and Vitex's take on the transition path.
