Mid-board Optics – Nvidia’s War on Pluggables
Evidence
Interestingly, the Kyber rack exhibited at the GTC 2026 show floor is missing OSFP cages for scale-out networking. Instead, we only see 4x MPO ports from each compute tray. This design has effectively taken key pluggable transceiver items (driver, TIA, etc.) other than the DSP and put them on a Midboard Optical Module (MBOM) which then connects to the PCB via a land grid array (LGA) socket. Two CX-9s share one MBOM, which then connects to the MPO faceplate via a short fiber connection. The MBOM provides two MPO ports at 2x800G each for 1.6T of total connectivity.
