Modern AI compute fabrics require optics that maximize bandwidth, minimize power consumption, and deliver the reliability needed for large-scale deployments.
“AI fabrics have shifted the center of gravity for optical design, and Cardinal was developed from day one with those unique requirements in mind,” said Chris Collins, AVP of Sales & Optical Product Marketing at Credo.

Credo’s Cardinal 1.6T optical DSP family combines a proven low-power architecture, ultra-low latency, and support for both retimed 1.6T optics and highly efficient Linear Receive Optics (LRO) implementations. Advanced diagnostics and predictive monitoring further enhance uptime and serviceability.
