Systematic fiber routing assembly for optical electronics

A co-packaged optical (CPO) switch comprising:

• an outer frame;
• an application specific integrated circuit (ASIC) carrier including CPO modules and an ASIC for performing switching operations;
• and
• an optical fiber routing assembly, including
• a housing;
• a plurality of terminated optical fibers routed within the housing, each of the terminated optical fibers being terminated with a fiber connector on each end of the optical fiber;
• a first set of adapters arranged vertically on an upper panel of the housing, the first set of adapters configured to facilitate connecting the plurality of terminated optical fibers to the CPO modules via terminated jumper optical fibers separate and distinct from the terminated optical fibers;
• a second set of adapters arranged horizontally and configured to facilitate connecting the plurality of terminated optical fibers to one or more electronic systems, wherein a combination of the first set of adapters and the second set of adapters facilitates communication between the CPO modules and the one or more electronic systems.
