48-port 10/100/1000Base-T Line Card Overview
The 48-port 10/100/1000Base-T line card for the Force10
C-Series C150 and C300 provides industry-leading density of
up to 384 line-rate, non-blocking 10/100/1000Base-T Ethernet
ports in a single chassis. Additionally, the C-Series ASICs and
architecture enables line-rate performance with QoS and
Access Control Lists (ACLs) enabled, jumbo frame support, and
simultaneous L2 switching and IPv4 routing. The intelligence
embedded in the line cards allows localized switching,
providing very low latency.
Key Features
- Full line-rate throughput for Ethernet frames from 64 byte to 9,252 byte
frames on all ports regardless of features enabled
- Integrated Time Domain Reflectometer (TDR) to easily monitor and isolate
faults on copper wiring infrastructure
- 5 microsecond switching latency under full load for 64 byte frames
- Auto-negotiation, auto-MDI/MDIX and per-port status and activity LEDs
