RT4000 Port Card

Multi-protocol/Multi-rate (Up to 4.25 Gbps)

The RT4000 port card supports wide ranging data speeds—up to 4.25 Gbps. The RT4000 port card—with a capacity to accept 48 Small Form Pluggable (SFP) transceivers—offers users the versatility of numerous protocols and data rates, based on the types of SFPs used.

Media conversion is easily accomplished by switching SFPs—for instance, from copper to optical or from 850nm to 1310nm optical. Other features of the RT4000 include support of SFP Digital Diagnostics and reconditioning and retiming mode capabilities at a wide array of rates.
