Pemaquid/S19258 10Gbit Metro-Ethernet Mapper device

Applied Micro Circuits Corporation (AMCC) has introduced the Pemaquid/S19258 10Gbit Metro-Ethernet Mapper device. The chip offers fast design-in rate for a transport integrated circuit. The new device is useful because of the increases in Internet traffic and the need by telecommunication service providers and equipment vendors to cost-effectively transport Ethernet traffic directly over metro area and long-haul optical networks at 10Gbps speed. AMCC’s 10Gbit Metro Ethernet PHY devices combined with Marvell Prestera can contribute to next-generation Metro-Ethernet systems adoption. Pemaquid offers cost-effective, high-performance, high-capacity delivery of enterprise and telecom traffic for both access and data center applications. Pemaquid features integrated 10GbE to OTU2 mapping modes, EDC, FEC, XAUI and serial 10G Interfaces. It enables the direct connection between 10G MACs, network processors, or 10GbE switches and XFP/SFP+ optical modules. A single Pemaquid can take the place of up to three devices: an FEC/Framer/Mapper, an SFI4.1 to Serial 10G Physical layer, and a bridge connecting the 10G MAC to the FEC/FRAMER/Mapper.
