Xgig1000 10 Port 25G/32G/50G/100G/128G Chassis
The Xgig1000 10 Port 25G/32G/50G/100G/128G system is a fixed blade chassis that
houses one Xgig 25G/32G/50G/100G/128G blade with eight SFP ports (four links) and two
QSFP ports (one link). The Xgig1000 10 Port 25G/32G/50G/100G/128G system supports:
•
Gigabit Ethernet protocol:
–
Analyzer and Jammer functions at 10GigE (10.3125 Gbps) and 25GigE
(25.78125 Gbps) using the eight SFP ports. Analyzer is supported in Analog
Passthrough and Digital Retime modes. Jammer is supported in Digital Retime
mode only. The capture buffer size is approximately 32 GB for each SFP port.
–
Analyzer functions at 50G (51.5625 Gbps) and 100G (103.125 Gbps) using the
two QSFP ports. Analyzer is supported in Analog Passthrough and Digital
Retime modes. The maximum capture size is limited to approximately 32 GB per
capture and the total capture memory size is approximately 128 GB for each
QSFP port; however using multiple segments in Xgig-Analyzer TraceControl,
you can combine these multiple segments for trace captures of approximately
the 128 GB memory size.
–
Each Gigabit Ethernet speed (10G, 25G, 50G, and 100G) requires a separate
license.
–
Analog Passthrough mode requires separate adapters. The 8 SFP ports require
Analog Passthrough Adapters; the 2 QSP ports require a Quad Analog
Passthrough Adapter. Refer to
“Analog Passthrough Adapters” on page 138
for
information on these adapters.
•
Fibre Channel protocol:
–
Analyzer and Jammer functions at 8G (8.5 Gbps), 16G (14.025 Gbps), or 32G
(28.05 Gbps) using the eight SFP ports. Analyzer is supported in Analog
Passthrough and Digital Retime modes. Jammer is supported in Digital Retime
mode only. The capture buffer size is approximately 32 GB for each SFP port.
–
Analyzer functions at 128G (112.200 Gbps) using the two QSFP ports. Analyzer
is supported in Analog Passthrough and Digital Retime modes. The capture
buffer size is approximately 128 GB for each QSFP port. The maximum capture
size is limited to approximately 32 GB per capture and the total capture memory
size is approximately 128 GB for each QSFP port; however using multiple
segments in Xgig-Analyzer TraceControl, you can combine these multiple
segments for trace captures of approximately the 128 GB memory size.
–
Analog Passthrough mode requires separate adapters. The 8 SFP ports require
AnalogPassthrough Adapters; the 2 QSP ports require a Quad Analog
Passthrough Adapter. Refer to
“Analog Passthrough Adapters” on page 138
for
information on these adapters.
NOTE
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.
