Acadia 10G Ethernet Media Module

The 10-Gigabit Module is intended to be used as a "BackBone" connecting two Layer2/Layer3 switches. The module includes the following features
• Layer 2 and Layer 3 Switching
• 10-Gigabit Ethernet transmission rate
• Common end-to-end transport protocol optimized for IP applications
• High capacity, high availability integrated solution for the P580 and P882 platforms

The 10-Gigabit Module is a double height module, occupying two chassis slots.

Ideal applications for 10G Ethernet links include high-volume storage-area networks and back-up segments, IP telephony, Gigabit-backed main distribution facilities, enterprise metropolitan-area networks (MAN), points of presence interconnected via 1G trunks, real-time audio and video multicasting, and data centers with switching and routing cores leveraging many 1G trunks.
