➀ Broadcom demonstrated that its Tomahawk 5 TH5-Bailly CPO (co-packaged optics) solution offers higher reliability compared to traditional pluggable FR4 optics, with a 2.5M-hour MTBF;

➁ Lab stress tests showed significantly lower link failure rates and zero link flaps in the first 1 million device hours for CPO, alongside reduced power consumption;

➂ The results position CPO as a viable solution for AI clusters, potentially accelerating adoption in high-density networking environments.
