ZTE Unveils OEX Supernode
智东西 · wechat · 2026-07-19
The article focuses on the OEX Supernode released by ZTE at WAIC, emphasizing that AI infrastructure has entered the "system era": a single GPU no longer dictates performance. The real bottlenecks are now interconnects, server organization, network coordination, software scheduling, and overall data center efficiency.
It highlights the orthogonal backplane-less interconnect design of the OEX. By utilizing orthogonal connectors and a single-stage switching topology, it eliminates internal high-speed cables, shortens SerDes links, reduces insertion loss, and improves rack space utilization, cutting maintenance time from hours to minutes. The article also notes its compatibility with various interconnect protocols, making it adaptable to different domestic GPU platforms.
