PM8379 CTS 20x4G
Advance
20-Port 4.25 Gbit/s FC-AL Cut-Through Switch
The CTS 20x4G is designed to interface directly to Fibre Channel disk drives in a storage array. It can interface directly to optics or to cables at the ingress/egress www.datasheet4u.com point of an enclosure and is able to determine if an incoming frame is destined for a drive within that enclosure. After determining which port is associated with the frames recipient, a cut through operation to that port is performed thereby significantly reducing system latency and improving performance. The CTS 20x4G provides unique disk isolation features that significantly increase total system availability, reliability, and serviceability. • Built-in self test capability with FC Frame Generator/Comparator. • Supports a 106.
