A stand alone module for rectangular array multicore fiber (MCF) based optical interconnect (OI) is realized, which includes inherent inter-core crosstalk and provides space division multiplexed (SDM) coupling/decoupling of optical power. The module is integrated in a short reach communication system to provide bit error probability (BEP). Next, closed form equation for BEP applicable to MCF OI with inter-core crosstalk is derived. For characteristic parameters of the module, results obtained by two approaches agree within 1% for 40 Gbps per channel and predicts error free transmission of aggregated data rate of 2.5 Tbps through the MCF OI under consideration.
