JANOG58 Exhibition Report Part 2
Held over three days from July 15th (Wed) to 17th (Fri), 2026, "JANOG58" took place in Matsuyama City, Ehime Prefecture, under the theme of "Technological Maturity and Passing on to the Next Generation." It became one of Japan's leading technology community events, attracting a large number of network operators, telecommunications carriers, data center operators, and system integrators.
This article will introduce the events and exhibits from that day.
This is a report on the exhibition held in the annex building.
Here 's a look at the main building.
Micas TH6 CPO Switch
At the Macnica booth located in the annex, we exhibited the "TH6 CPO Switch," which embodies Micas Networks' next-generation CPO technology.
Micas Networks is a US-based network equipment manufacturer that offers commercial switch products in addition to open networking products, including white Box switches.
We are also focusing on developing high-speed, high-capacity switch products for next-generation data center networks.
We also showcased Broadcom's high-performance, highly reliable network interface cards (NICs).

Exhibited Products
White Box switch (Micas)
●Micas TH6 CPO Switch (Mock Sample)
What is CPO (Co-Packaged Optics)?
This is a next-generation packaging technology that integrates an optical engine with a switch ASIC within the same package.
In modern data centers, particularly AI data centers, the rapid expansion of bandwidth demand has led to a significant challenge in terms of increasing power consumption.
Compared to conventional methods of inserting optical modules into the front panel, CPO (Chip-on-Plate) allows for extremely short electrical wiring distances on the substrate, resulting in significantly lower power consumption and improved signal loss.
The TH6 CPO Switch, which was exhibited at our booth, was being shown in Japan for the first time, and many visitors stopped by and showed great interest in it as cutting-edge technology.
Many attendees commented that they were familiar with the term "CPO" but were seeing the actual device for the first time. A significant number of customers showed strong interest, particularly from the perspective of future bandwidth demand in AI data centers.
Furthermore, we received many specific questions that went beyond a simple technical overview, delving into implementation aspects such as the structure of the optical connection and cable configuration. In addition, many customers were learning about Micas for the first time, making this a very meaningful exhibition opportunity in terms of increasing awareness of Micas as a white-Box switch vendor.
●TH6 Liquid-Cooled 64-port 1.6T OSFP Switch
This is a liquid-cooled Ethernet switch for AI data centers, featuring Broadcom Tomahawk technology, 64 ports, and 1.6T OSFP support.
In addition to supporting expansion to large-scale AI clusters, its full 1.6T LPO support and liquid cooling design contribute to reducing network power consumption and operating costs.
We support the construction of next-generation AI infrastructure to accommodate the further scaling up of AI workloads.
Network Interface Card (Broadcom)
For over 20 years, Broadcom's network interface cards (NICs) have led the networking industry with their high-performance and highly reliable designs.
It supports a wide range of speeds from 1GbE to 400GbE, and also supports the latest PCIe standards, virtualization, and security functions. Its excellent power efficiency contributes to energy savings in large-scale data centers.
With a long-term supply guarantee, it is ideal for long-term operation.
Summary
Macnica offers pre-verified configuration proposals that combine products from multiple manufacturers, and has a one-stop support system.
Customers can avoid the trouble of checking compatibility between devices and dealing with multiple contact points, minimizing the risks of implementation.
While open networking offers significant advantages in terms of cost, flexibility, and performance, it also brings with it numerous concerns and challenges regarding its implementation and operation.
Macnica will continue to provide optimal solutions, valuing not only technology but also "ease of use and peace of mind for customers."
