Curtiss-Wright Expands Physical Layer Switch With New Hot-Swap
12 Port 10Gb/s Fibre Channel/Ethernet/ iSCSI Card
LEESBURG, VA – May 1, 2006, -- Curtiss-Wright Controls Embedded
Computing, has introduced a new hot-swappable 10Gb/s Fibre Channel/Ethernet/iSCSI
card, the RT10000, designed for use in Curtiss-Wright’s space-saving
144 and 288 port GLX4000 Physical Layer Switch products. The RT10000 provides
a cost-effective modular method of scaling the high density GLX4000 switch
to match specific network requirements. Each RT10000 port card can accept
up to 12 XFP transceiver modules.
Pricing and Availability
Availability of the RT10000 port card is off-the-shelf in Q2 2006. For
pricing information, please contact Gillaspy Associates. Register

“Curtiss-Wright’s 288-port GLX4000 port switch offers the
highest port density physical layer switch available on the market,”
said Gorky Chin, VP & General Manager of Embedded Computing’s
Data Communications group. “The new RT10000 port card adds unmatched
high density networking flexibility to the GLX4000. Even better, the RT10000
is hot-swappable, which lowers the cost and reduces down-time for system
maintenance.”
The RT10000 port card supports a wide range of optical wavelengths. Its
XFP transceiver modules can be configured with 850nm, 1310nm, or 1550nm
wavelength optical interfaces. This flexibility enables users to easily
convert network media from 850nm optical to 1550nm optical for DWDM applications.
An industry leader in signal integrity, Curtiss-Wright also includes built-in
signal retiming on each port to ensure the highest possible signal quality.
In addition, the RT10000 provides real-time diagnostic data, via XFP Digital
Diagnostics (XDD), to deliver the information that Network Administrators
need for timely repairs or prognostics. Data captured by XDD includes
vendor, transceiver type, range, protocol, transceiver temperature, transmit
and receive optical power, and transceiver supply voltage. The RT10000
also reports the temperature measured at both ends of the card. All XDD
information can be accessed through a simple-to-use GUI or powerful CLI.
The GLX4000 Physical Layer Switch
The 19” rackable GLX4000 144/288 uses a chassis and blade architecture
that provides network designers with a simple and cost-effective way to
expand the crossbar switch as their application needs grow. The GLX4000’s
high port density, reduces slot counts, and so lowers the cost of spares
and hardware inventory management.
The GLX4000’s system chassis can accommodate up to six hot-swappable
48-port interface blades configured to support XFP or SFP modules at speeds
up to 10 Gb/s. The switch can also be configured to accept direct Firewire
connections at rates up 1600 Mb/s. Because the GLX4000’s blades
all connect to a common backplane,
the switch’s cross-connect functionality extends across any combination
of blades and ports.
