Ciena Unveils New Pluggable Optical Engine to Meet Data Center AI Demands
Ciena introduced the Vesta 200 6.4T CPX, a pluggable co‑packaged optical (CPO) engine that delivers the industry’s highest density and up to 70% lower power consumption. The module supports 200 Gb/s per lane, retimer‑free linear‑drive operation and a 20 dB electrical loss budget, enabling space‑constrained AI servers and switches. It also opens an IEEE 802.3dj‑compliant, multi‑vendor ecosystem through CPX interconnects. The product marks Ciena’s first launch after acquiring Nubis Communications and will be demoed at OFC 2026.
