8-Port 160-Gbps HiGig™ Switch Fabric
The Broadcom BCM5670 switch fabric is the central component of the modular and highly scalable StrataXGS Gigabit Ethernet switch architecture. StrataXGS components can be applied in a wide variety of configurations, enabling system designers to strategically balance cost, port density, and performance in the products they build.
The integration of Broadcom's robust XAUI-compatible serializer/deserializer (SerDes) interface on each BCM5670 port reduces board complexity. The XAUI interface can be used to route high speed signals across 44 inches of FR4, connectors, and backplanes. SerDes technology also enables the use of inexpensive cables for stacking applications.
