RT10000 Port Card

10 Gig Ethernet

For maximum versatility, the RT10000 port card supports 10 Gig Ethernet, accepts 12 XFP transceivers, and can run reconditioning and retiming modes at two rates. Change the media from 850nm optical to 1310nm or 1550nm optical simply by switching the XFP. XFP Digital Diagnostics is supported by the RT10000 port card.

Features

• 12 Hot-Swappable XFP Ports (LC connector) - Highest port density
• Dual Data Rates/Dual Protocols:
  • 10.31 Gb/s - Ethernet (standard)
  • 10.52 Gb/s - Fibre Channel (factory configured)
• XFP types - Media conversion
  • 850nm optical, LC connector (300m)
  • 1310nm optical, LC connector (10 Km)
  • 1550nm optical, LC connector (50+ Km)
• Signal detect counter provides troubleshooting assist on each port
•  XFP Digital Diagnostics - Monitor XFP temperature, type, transmit laser health, etc.
• Software support:
  • SNMP - Remote monitoring
  • Command Line Interface (CLI) offers full control
  • Graphical User Interface (GUI) for ease of use
• Port Card Indicators to monitor port status at a glance
  • 2 LEDs on GLX4000 switch display indicate Transmit Enable and Receive Signal Detect for each XFP port
  • 2 LEDs next to each XFP transceiver indicate port Receive Signal Detect and Fault
  • 1 Ready LED per port card
  • 1 Fault LED per port card
• Same port card operates in both GLX4000 144-port & 288-port switches to save spares inventory cost
• Signal Reconditioning, Signal Retiming
