Solarflare unveils industry s first single-chip, sub-6-Watt 10GBASE-T transceiver

摘要

Solarflare Communications, a provider of standards-based 10-Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE) silicon solutions, announced its next-generation 10GBASE-T PHY and enhanced 10GbE controller products. The new 10Xpress SFT9001 PHY consumes less than 6.0 watts at maximum 100 meter reach and the Solarstorm SFC4000E vNIC controller consumes less than 2.2 watts at full line-rate performance. When combined on a server adapter, Solarflare s 10GbE silicon PHY and controller deliver 10 times the performance of a 1 Gigabit NIC at half the power consumption of previous 10GbE server adapters.
