The post examines the escalating demand for short‑reach interconnects as AI models grow larger and data centers shift to massive GPU clusters. It compares copper‑based options—DAC, ACC, and AEC—with optical solutions like AOC and emerging Co‑Packaged Optics (CPO). Active Electrical Cable (AEC) is highlighted as the current sweet spot, delivering 400G/800G speeds over 2‑2.5 m with low power and reasonable cost. The article also notes that CPO’s widespread adoption is unlikely before 2027‑2029.
