F-820x Series Fabric Modules

The MAGNM fabric modules provide inter-module and transport connectivity as well as device aggregation. The second generation F-8208 fabric module provides 10 times greater performance for inter-module communication than the first generation F-8108 fabric module. While optimized for GPON and 1 Gigabit Fiber to the Home applications, the F-8208 fabric can provide connectivity for any MAGNM application including mixed copper and fiber deployments.

The Fabric Module provides multiple 1Gb/s Ethernet ports via Small Form Factor Pluggable (SFP) optics and 10/100/1000Mb/s Ethernet ports, as well as modular 10Gb/s Ethernet XFP ports. The transport links can be used individually or can trunked together using 802.3ad link aggregation to form a higher speed virtual link, cost effectively increasing transport capacity.

Features:

  • High Performance Fabric Modules exceed 340 Million packets per second, and provide MAGNM module interconnection and Ethernet transport links.
  • Scales to support POTS, ADSL2+, GPON, and Active P-P Ethernet
