DESCRIPTION:The IEEE Ottawa AP/MTT Joint Chapter\, and the IEEE Ottawa EMC 
 Chapter presents a talk by Matthew Burns\, Director\, Technical Marketing 
 at Samtec\, as part of the Ottawa Signal Integrity and Datacenters Series.
 \n\nTuesday\, November 3\, 2026\, 12:00–1:00 PM Eastern Time. In person 
 at HUB350\, Kanata. Pizza and snacks.\n\nAbstract\n\nData Center and AI Sc
 ale-up\, Scale-out\, and Scale-across infrastructures demand both reduced 
 power consumption\, cost\, and latency and increased bandwidth density\, c
 apacity\, reliability and scalability. Interchangeability between copper a
 nd optical interconnects simplifies system architectures and offers flexib
 ility in scale-up/scale-out/scale-across implementations. Field replaceabl
 e CPO solutions are a must for data center and AI scale-up/scale-out/scale
 -across as well.\n\nIn this technical presentation\, Matthew Burns will de
 tail the Si-Fly® HD 224 Gbps PAM4 CPX Systems supporting electrically plu
 ggable CPC/CPO solutions. An introduction and overview of the newly releas
 ed Open CPX MSA 1.0 Specification will be included. In addition\, Matthew 
 will review the benefits of an interoperable ecosystem of optical engines 
 enabling various data center and AI scale-up/scale-out/scale-across use ca
 ses. Potential 400G channel rate system architecture will also be explored
