EDC PHY and PHYless switch design difference
Almost all modern bare metal switches are described as PHYless. What does it mean, what we need to consider? We commonly interconnect network devices for distances below 100 meters with twisted pair or maybe 300 meters over OM3 multimode fiber for 10GBASE-SR. We can extend the span between devices to 10Km for with 10GBASE-LR, […]
White box switches: Understanding the basics
White box switches and their associated operating systems are poised to make an impact on the networking industry during 2014. White box Ethernet switches offer IT the advantages of flexibility, lower Capex and potentially lower operating costs as compared to traditional “black box” Ethernet switch options.
