Switch Layer II – Layer III 8-16 – 24 Ethernet & SFP+ Ports with 10/100/1G and 10G
The next-generation switch family from Microsemi delivers a fl exible Enterprise and Industrial Ethernet solution.
The VSC7440 SparX-IV-34™ device is an SMB/SME Ethernet switch with up to 10 ports supporting a combination of 1G, 2.5G, and 10G Ethernet ports. The device provides a rich set of Enterprise Ethernet switching features. Using multistage Versatile TCAM technology (VCAP™), it delivers VLAN and QoS processing that enables delivery of differentiated services, security through intelligent frame processing, and egress frame manipulation.
For industrial applications, VSC7440 integrates VeriTime™, Microsemi’s patent-pending timing technology that delivers the industry’s most accurate IEEE 1588v2 time stamping. Combined with the PTP software and an advanced Servo algorithm, Microsemi offers the most accurate 1588 solution.
A powerful 500 MHz CPU enables full management of a Layer 2 and Layer 3 Ethernet switch solution.
A comprehensive application programming interface (API) and a software development package (SDK) accelerate time-to-market for managed Ethernet applications. The software API package integrates easily with third-party software, preserving existing software investments.
