4-port 10 Gigabit Ethernet Line Card With Pluggable XFP Modules 

The 4-port 10 GbE line card for the Force10 C-Series C150 and C300 with pluggable XFP modules, supports distances of up to 80 km. This card provides a flexible solution for applications spanning the LAN, MAN, and WAN.

This line card provides density of up to 32 line-rate, non-blocking 10 Gigabit 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
  • Pluggable XFP modules providing support for SR, LR, ER, ZR, DWDM
    and CX4 interfacee
  • 5 microsecond switching latency under full load for 64 byte frames
  • Per-port status and activity LEDs
