VSC7442
52-Port L2/L3 Enterprise and Industrial Ethernet Switch
Microsemi's next generation switch family delivers a flexible Enterprise
and Industrial Ethernet solution.
Highlights
The VSC7442 SparX-IV-52™ device is a 52 Gbps SMB/SME Industrial
Ethernet switch with up to 52 Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) ports.
• Fully managed L2 switching and L3
forwarding features
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.
• Industrial temperature range
For industrial applications, VSC7442 integrates VeriTime™, Microsemi's
patent-pending timing technology that delivers the industry’s most
accurate IEEE 1588v2 timing implementation.
• Single-chip 52 Gbps switching solution
• Easy upgrade within SparX-IV family to
higher bandwidths including 10 GbE port
support
Applications
• Fully managed L2/L3 switch
• Industrial Ethernet switch
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 software
development package accelerates time-to-market for managed Ethernet
applications. The software API package integrates easily with third-party
software, preserving existing software investments.
