Xgig1000 8+2 Port 10G/16G/40G Chassis
The Xgig1000 8+2 Port 10G/16G/40G system is a fixed blade chassis that houses one
Xgig 10G/16G/40G blade with eight SFP ports (four links) and two QSFP ports (one link).
The eight SFP ports support the Analyzer, Jammer, and Load Tester functions at 10.3125
Gbps in the 10 Gigabit Ethernet protocol. Analyzer and Load Tester are supported in
Analog Passthrough and Digital Retime. Jammer is supported in Digital Retime only. The
SFP ports also support the Analyzer, Jammer, and Load Tester functions at 4.2500,
8.5000, or 14.0250 Gbps in the Fibre Channel protocol in Analog Passthrough or Digital
Retime.
The two QSFP ports support the Analyzer function at 41.2500 Gbps in the 10 Gigabit
Ethernet protocol in Analyzer Passthrough only.
This system supports a 4GB trace buffer per port. This fixed-blade system does not require
or accept Xgig or Xgig5000 blades. Xgig provides the necessary software tools running in
a PC environment to perform the application task using the blade fixed within the chassis.
