The VSC7449 SparX-IV-9 device is a 90 Gbps SMB/SME Industrial Ethernet switch with up to 52 ports supporting a combination of 1G, 2.5G, and 10G Ethernet ports. The device provides a rich set of Enterprise Ethernet switching features. Using multistage Versatile Content Aware Processing (VCAP), it delivers VLAN and QoS processing that enables delivery of differentiated services, security through intelligent frame processing, and egress frame manipulation. For industrial applications, VSC7449 integrates VeriTime, patent-pending timing technology that delivers the industry’s most accurate IEEE 1588v2 timing implementation. 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.
