Abstract

Based on a hypothetical 51.2 Tbps switch using co-packaged optics, we discuss key optical connectivity considerations and lay out different cabling options. Means are discussed to relax the length-accuracy requirements for fiber jumpers while maintaining a crossing-free cable layout for ease of assembly and serviceability. A key consideration is the mechanical stress in the fiber terminations which can lead to a degradation in the polarization integrity of external laser sources.
