Eoptolink Technology Inc., Ltd. has introduced its 12.8T XPO pluggable optical transceiver, an industry-first liquid-cooled module for AI data centers, announced in a press release. The module is designed to support scale-up, scale-out, and metro-reach architectures, delivering 12.8 Tbps throughput through 64 lanes operating at 200 Gbps each.

The XPO achieves a front-panel density of 204.8 Tbps in a 4-RU rack, offering four times the capacity of current 1.6T OSFP solutions. It integrates a cold plate capable of cooling up to 400W per module, ensuring stable performance under high-power conditions. The design also supports linear, half-retimed, and fully-retimed interfaces, providing flexibility for deployment.

Eoptolink has joined the XPO Multi-Source Agreement (MSA) as a founding member. The consortium focuses on developing high-density, liquid-cooled pluggable optics for next-generation AI and cloud data center infrastructure. The company is showcasing the 12.8T XPO alongside its 400G/lambda-1.6T and 200G/lambda-1.6T optical transceiver series at OFC 2026 in Los Angeles.
