SE-4000 - Switching Engine

Switching Engine

The SE-4000 is the second generation cross-point switch element of the Scalable Ethernet Switching product line. It performs as an extremely low power and efficient 40 x 40 cross-point switch. The SE-4000 has forty 3.125Gbps SerDes interfaces to connect to each of the QE-2000s in the system.

The SE-4000 is designed to operate and meet the rigorous requirements of both the Enterprise Core and Metro-Ethernet markets. In tandem with the BME-3200 and QE-2000 it forms part of the switch fabric which delivers bandwidth guarantees, advanced traffic engineering, and per-flow queuing across its extremely low-latency and highly-resilient fabric.
