Microsemi announced that it will launch a new member of its SparX-IV enterprise Ethernet switch product line, VSC7449 provides higher switching capabilities and competitive port configuration. The company said the new SparX-IV enterprise Ethernet switch is ideal for managed small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and enterprise switch platforms, including Wi-Fi access and aggregation and industrial Internet of Things (IoT) applications.
"The VSC7449 device supports 48 Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) ports and four 10GbE port exchanges on a single chip, including direct connection to 10G fiber, combined with Microsemi's high-density 12-port 1000 Base-T PHY, to provide maximum performance. Cost-effective, fully managed L2 / 3 switching solution, "said Uday Mudoi, Vice President of Marketing at Microsemi Ethernet Network Technology (ENT) Group. "In addition, VSC7449 also provides integrated SyncE and 1588v2 timing support to meet the needs of the emerging industrial Ethernet market."
According to the 2015 report of market research company Infonetics, the enterprise Ethernet switch market continues in terms of the number of ports supported by these devices Growth, especially in 2.5 GbE and 10GbE. The port speed of 2.5GbE is expected to increase from approximately 412,000 ports in 2015 to 9.5 million in 2019, while the port speed of 10GbE is expected to increase from approximately 44 million ports in 2015 to more than 171 million in 2019.
The VSC7449 has the best port configuration, providing up to four 10Gbps Ethernet port connections without external PHY, and up to 24 2.5Gbps Ethernet ports, supporting upgrades to 802.11ac networks using existing cable infrastructure. With its industrial temperature range and integrated IEEE 1588 timing and synchronization functions, SparX-IV Ethernet switches are also ideal for industrial Ethernet switch applications. The SparX-IV switch series enabled by Microsemi ’s turnkey application software SMBStaX and IStaX, plus Microsemi ’s Power over Ethernet (PoE) Power Supply Equipment (PSE) integrated circuit (IC) and clock management product portfolio, provides a quick solution Solution-The company stated that companies and industrial equipment manufacturers have access to the market.
