2×2 crosspoint switch is first to 14 Gbits/s

摘要

The GX4002 2×2 crosspoint switch is said to be the industry's first such device supporting data rates of 14 Gbits/s per port. It also integrates a CDR, providing a single-chip solution for high- speed signal integrity requirements of next-generation networks.rnThe chip provides an output jitter of just 7 ps, peak-to-peak, and has the speed, bandwidth, and signal integrity required to support network equipment based on standards like 10-Gbit/s SONET (OC-192), 10-Gbit/s Ethernet, 16-Gbit/s Fibre Channel, and Infiniband. In redundancy-switching applications, an alternative traffic path can be switched over and operational within 100 us for OC-192/OTU2 data rates.
