Under the hood of the new MD8000-100G is an integrated 100Gb/s Switch and Network Interface Controller, representing a 10X bandwidth increase from 10Gb/s to 100Gb/s. The Network Interface function supports both long range and extended range optical QSFP28 (Quad Small Form-factor Pluggable) 100Gb/s transceivers. The solution is compliant with interoperable industry standards including JPEG XS and ST 2110.
Existing MD8000 users can install this new solution in field-deployed chassis and it is fully backward compatible with the MD8000 platform's extensive portfolio of line card products, already in use by large and small media companies.
