Context Before
For Meta, we think the VR NVL72 deployments will comprise only of non-scheduled fabric (NSF) clusters built using Tomahawk 6-based Minipack-4 OCP Rack 102.4T switches in each datacenter. While Meta will be using optics to connect all the switches within its cluster, it will use 1.6T AECs for NIC-to-TOR connections once 1.6T AECs become broadly available in the market.
Evidence
We expect the 1.6T AEC ramp to happen in the second half of calendar year 2026.
Context After
The catch is that 102.4T Minipack-4 switches may not be shipped in time for Vera Rubin NVL72 rack deployments, and if this were to be the case, some NSF clusters will be shipped using 51.2T Minipack-3 switches instead. This means that gearboxes within the AECs will have to be used to convert 200G per lane SerDes speed at the NIC to 100G per lane SerDes speed at the switch.
