10-Port 10-GbE and 8-Port HiGig2™/10-GbE Multilayer Switch
The BCM56801 network switch is a high-density, 10-Gigabit Ethernet switching chip solution with 18 ports. Ten ports can support 10-GbE or 1-GbE. The other eight ports can flexibly support HiGig2/HiGig™+/HiGig™/10-GbE/1-GbE. Additionally, the BCM56801 integrates all the SerDes required to interface to applicable copper and fiber physical interfaces.
The integrated SerDes functionality includes 10-Gbps XAUI and 1-Gbps SGMII PHY interfaces. The integrated SerDes complies with the CX-4 standard and PICMG3.1 standard, which ensures interoperability with Ethernet line cards in an Advanced TCA chassis.
