VSC8258 is a quad 1G/10G serial-to-serial Ethernet PHY featuring

IEEE1588v2 and 128/256-bit MACsec encryption. It also supports

dual-sided 10GBASE-KR functionality including auto-negotiation and

world tests and adopted as the preferred low-cost upgrade for meeting

emerging requirements in 4G/LTE-Advanced (LTE-A).

Intellisec™ is Microsemi’s patent-pending fl ow-based extension of the

IEEE 802.1AE-based, end-to-end MACsec solution for confi dential

communications over any MEF CE 2.0 Ethernet or MPLS service

provider connections. It is the world’s fi rst FIPS 197-certifi ed CGM-AES

256-bit strong MACsec, with legacy support for today’s CGM-AES

128-bit fi eld deployments. The VSC8258 device supports full line rate

encryption at both 1 GbE and 10 GbE speeds over multiple media

types.

direct attach copper cabling as well as challenging backplane interface

applications.
