Molex is currently sampling the ELSIS hybrid optical electrical connector and cage system, giving engineers a head start on development and testing — well ahead of industry adoption of co-packaged optics (CPO). Supporting design and development materials for the fully pluggable module system, including 3D models, technical drawings, and detailed specifications, are available now. Molex aims to release the fully integrated system by the third quarter of 2023, which will enable companies to commercialize their designs and quickly ramp production as CPO acceptance scales.
