NVIDIA and Cisco Introduce New Pluggable Optics Form Factor to Scale AI Factories

Nvidia is pushing deeper into the optics layer where Broadcom and Marvell make their money, teaming with Cisco on a module that packs 4x the bandwidth density of today's 200Gb/s-per-lane parts and reaches 12.8Tb/s per connection. TE Connectivity and Amphenol are already signed on to build the cages and connectors, and the two plan an open multi-source spec, which is how a vendor design becomes the industry default.

Mad Money w/ Jim Cramer 10/7/26

  • Cramer splits the market in two: credit-dependent names like Caterpillar, Ford and IBM versus AI borrowers that price near Treasuries
  • SpaceX seeking $40 billion to buy Nvidia chips at triple-B rating, while Paramount Skydance bondholders got hit at 8%
  • Oracle flagged as the one data-center name still exposed to credit market scrutiny
  • Caller advice: swap Western Digital into cheaper Micron; Vertiv the pick after GE Vernova on data center infrastructure

AI and data-center names no longer trade off Treasury auctions, so a weak auction hits the industrial and consumer side of your book while chip and power names sail through, with Oracle the named exception. On the calls, he pushed Micron over Western Digital and ranked Vertiv right behind GE Vernova on infrastructure.

Mad Money w/ Jim Cramer 10/5/26

  • Cramer flags a broken pattern: oil fell while the 30-year yield climbed to 5.66%, near 6%
  • Nasdaq's record close carried by Microsoft on Copilot, Meta's small-business ad shift, and Nvidia's all-time high
  • Saudis discounting crude $5 below the Oman/Dubai benchmark is market share defense, not a fading war premium
  • Caller questions on Intuitive Surgical as a broken stock, plus KLA, Domino's and SoFi

Cramer's warning: strip out Microsoft, Nvidia and Meta and the safety names were hit, meaning three stocks are carrying the index. He says the bond market tells the truth longer term, and the 30-year at 5.66% caps any broad rally. Owning the hyperscalers has been the only trade that worked.
