PM6200

META-DX2L is a multi-purpose Ethernet PHY supporting rates from 1 GbE to 800 GbE with a broad range of FEC regeneration and termination capabilities. It supports up to 1.6 Tbps capacity in retiming applications and up to 800G capacity in gearbox and 2:1 mux applications. The device features 32 SerDes, a hitless 2:1 mux, a flexible crosspoint and support for additional protocols, such as Fibre Channel and OTN.

Its SerDes can support backplanes and passive Direct Attach (DAC) cables at up to 112 Gbps and can also be configured to reduce power for VSR applications. The hitless 2:1 mux enables high availability architectures and the device latency is deterministic to enable Class C/D PTP at the system level.

The META-DX2L device is pin compatible with the META-DX2+ 32 SerDes variants, enabling META-DX2L designs to easily add encryption, port aggregation, or MAC layer services such as PTP, all within a single META-DX2 Software Development Kit (SDK).

Benefits

* 1.6 Tbps device enables high-density, 112G SerDes based line cards and fixed form factor switches * Multiple operating modes enable design reuse across platforms and improves time to market * Crosspoint enables flexible connection to multiple types of optics or datapaths on a single design * Deterministic latency enables PTP Class C/D at the system level for 5G-ready equipment * FEC termination and conversion capability enables support of a wide range of optical modules * Complete set of META-DX2 SDK APIs to reduce development time
