Microsemi's quad 10 GbE PHY delivers the industry’s most accurate
IEEE 1588v2 timing functionality and highly fl exible XFI to XFI
transceiver capability with optional OTN wrapper for 10 GbE and OTU2
applications.
The VSC8496 device includes the next-generation of VeriTime™,
Microsemi's patent-pending distributed timing technology that delivers
the industry’s most accurate IEEE 1588v2 timing implementation with no
loss of precision in Carrier Ethernet switch/router and DWDM systems.
IEEE 1588v2 timing integrated in the PHY is the quickest, lowest
cost method of implementing the timing accuracy that is critical to
maintaining existing timing-critical capabilities during the migration from
TDM to packet-based architectures.
Cost-effi cient transponders based on the VSC8496 device cater to
high volume 10 GbE. The VSC8496 device offers the ideal solution for
multiport client and network interfaces on Ethernet and IP/MPLS switch
routers.
This highly integrated device supports 10 GbE LAN Carrier Ethernet
networks, as well as WAN and OTN networks, with G.Sup43 mapping
modes. With its 10G PHY XFI/SFI interfaces and G.709 FEC features,
the VSC8496 device provides a seamless and direct interface to XFP
and SFP+ optical modules.
The VSC8496 device employs a bidirectional, independent channel
architecture with performance monitoring support that can be used
in 10 GbE PHY modes including bit-transparency. The OTN mapper
with FEC supports performance monitoring and maintenance features
to simplify the operation of optical networks supporting various client
Ethernet signals.
The VSC8496 device includes eight 10 Gbps bidirectional serial
interfaces for direct connection to XFP or SFP+ optics modules or 10G
serial backplaness.
