Broadcom Intros Dual, Quad, and Octal 10GbE and 40GbE PHYs

Broadcom has added four new physical layer transceivers (PHYs) to its portfolio of 10 gigabit Ethernet (GbE) and 40GbE high-speed Ethernet products for optical fiber communications. The new SFP+ physical layer transceivers (PHYs) include a variety of dual, quad and octal-channel devices for data center and enterprise networks, enabling the transition from 1GbE to 10GbE and 40GbE, and are based on advanced 40nm CMOS architecture. All four devices feature Broadcom’s fourth generation of EDC technology, enabling data transmission on a 10GbE or 40GbE serial interface. This feature is ideal for applications requiring transmission over multimode fiber (MMF) at distances up to 300m (LRM) using OM3 fiber and SFP+ copper twin-axial cable (CR). Sampling is underway.
