BCM56338B1KFSBLG

Each of the BCM56330 family is a highly integrated 24-port multilayer GbE switch with four ports of 10-GbE XAUI uplinks or four ports of 1-GbE/2.5-GbE uplinks. The GbE ports support SGMII as well as integrated SerDes for direct fiber (1000BX and 100FX) connectivity.

The BCM56330 family are purpose-built for next-generation Enterprise and Metro Ethernet access applications. This product family offers an 8-port GbE configuration with uplinks or 24-port GbE configuration with uplinks. Two BCM56330 devices can be connected together by two ports of 13G XAUI-over-HiGig stacking protocol to create a non-blocking 48-port switch.

The BCM56330 family supports non-blocking L2 switching and L3 routing, which are key features for Carrier Ethernet and enterprise networking applications.
