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.

⑥ Human Review

請在 Properties 逐項確認:

  • 原文 → Atomic Claim 是否忠實
  • Atomic Claim → Semantic Frame 是否忠實
  • Canonical Entity mapping 是否正確
  • Epistemic mode 是否保留原文語氣
  • 最後選擇 review_action
