NVIDIA and Cisco Introduce New Pluggable Optics Form Factor to Scale AI Factories

New Transceivers Enable AI Builders to Scale Compute Within the Same Network Footprint While Reducing Networking’s Share of the Power Budget

Ultra-Dense Small Form Factor Pluggable (USFP) is designed to be the first module to support 400Gb/s-per-lane electrical signals, enabling capacity up to 12.8Tb/s so AI factory builders can scale Ethernet AI fabrics, while extending a proven deployment model across multiple generations of data center networks.

USFP delivers 4x the bandwidth density and 1.3x the power efficiency of 200Gb/s-per-lane optics so AI factories can connect more computing systems without adding network tiers, while using less power to move each bit of data.

NVIDIA and Cisco are working with TE Connectivity and Amphenol to build a multi-source hardware ecosystem around USFP. | $NVDA $CSCO

Cisco Advances Scalability and Openness at OCP 2026

Delivers the resilient, open Ethernet foundations required to connect and scale massive, distributed AI factories

Cisco and NVIDIA plan to develop an open industry specification for a next-generation 400G-per-lane pluggable optics design, increasing bandwidth density while preserving serviceability and customer choice.

Cisco advances open infrastructure across silicon, systems and optics to meet the demands of AI workloads, spanning high-density scale-out and distributed scale-across networks.

The Cisco Silicon One portfolio continues to expand to serve all AI builders, with the first G300-powered systems shipping to customers, new 1.6T G302 silicon, and P200-powered systems now deployed in production hyperscale environments. | $CSCO $NVDA
