VSC7440
10-Port L2/L3 Enterprise Gigabit Ethernet Switch with 10 Gbps Links
The next-generation switch family from Microsemi delivers a flexible
Enterprise and Industrial Ethernet solution.
The VSC7440 SparX-IV-34™ device is an SMB/SME Ethernet switch with
up to 10 ports supporting a combination of 1G, 2.5G, and 10G Ethernet
ports.
The device provides a rich set of Enterprise Ethernet switching features.
Using multistage Versatile TCAM technology (VCAP™), it delivers VLAN
and QoS processing that enables delivery of differentiated services, security
through intelligent frame processing, and egress frame manipulation.
For industrial applications, VSC7440 integrates VeriTime™, Microsemi’s
patent-pending timing technology that delivers the industry’s most accurate
IEEE 1588v2 time stamping. Combined with the PTP software and an
advanced Servo algorithm, Microsemi offers the most accurate 1588
solution.
A powerful 500 MHz CPU enables full management of a Layer 2 and Layer
3 Ethernet switch solution.
A comprehensive application programming interface (API) and a software
development package (SDK) accelerate time-to-market for managed
Ethernet applications. The software API package integrates easily with
third-party software, preserving existing software investments.
