Micas Networks

Overview

Micas Networks is a CPO (Co-Packaged Optics) switch manufacturer that has achieved hyperscaler-proven deployment of liquid-cooled switches with integrated optics. The company positions its CPO switches as solving three critical AI data center challenges simultaneously: power consumption, thermal management, and networking scalability. Micas' switches eliminate thousands of pluggable transceiver modules by integrating optics directly into the switch ASIC package.

The company's reliability data is particularly notable: CPO switches tested by hyperscalers achieved over 4 million hours of operation without a single port flapping event, compared to 5-8% failure rates for traditional pluggable transceivers after shipping.
