As PCIe® scales to Gen 6 and beyond, optical interconnects are becoming essential for extending reach without compromising latency. At ECOC, Amphenol will highlight its Linear Pluggable Optics (LPO) portfolio with a live system demonstration carrying real PCIe traffic between switches. The setup runs GPU LLM workloads and SSD FIO benchmarks, illustrating how LPO enables high-performance connectivity for AI and storage applications. By evaluating performance across multiple fiber lengths, the demo underscores the role of linear optics in delivering predictable latency and scalable bandwidth for next-generation disaggregated architectures.
