NVIDIA and Cisco introduce new pluggable optics form factor to scale AI Factories

Cisco and NVIDIA Develop High-Density Optical Technology for Next-Generation AI Infrastructure

Cisco and NVIDIA have announced a collaboration to develop Ultra-Dense Small Form Factor Pluggable (USFP), a high-density optical module designed to support 400Gb/s-per-lane connectivity in next-generation AI infrastructure. As AI models become more complex and demand for inference increases, data centre operators need to connect larger numbers of computing systems while managing network capacity, power …

NVIDIA and Cisco introduce new pluggable optics form factor to scale AI Factories

NVIDIA and Cisco have announced plans for Ultra-Dense Small Form Factor Pluggable (USFP), a new high-density 400Gb/s-per-lane optical module designed to equip the hardware ecosystem for the next generation of AI factories using pluggable transceivers. As AI models grow and inference demand expands, AI factories must connect more computing systems while managing network complexity, power […]
