10-Gigabit Ethernet and HiGig™ Multilayer Switch
The BCM5673 is the industry's first 10-Gigabit Ethernet (10 GbE) multi-layer switch that delivers wire-speed Layer 2 through Layer 7 switching and routing capabilities over cost-effective 10GBASE-CX4 copper medium (CX4). As the latest addition to Broadcom's field-proven StrataXGS® product family, this highly integrated single-chip device enables system manufacturers for the first time to build stackable 24- and 48-port Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) switches with multiple 10 GbE interfaces in a compact 1U form factor (standard unit height of approximately 1.75 inches).
The BCM5673 recently earned the prestigious Best LAN/Enterprise Product of 2003 from the engineering webzine analogZONE. Product reviews are at the core of analogZONE's content and are updated on a weekly basis. The organization reviews literally hundreds of products each year, and selects only those products for "Product of the Year" in 42 product categories that are standout in its class, possessing exceptional technical merit and well-targeted marketability.
