META-DX Ethernet PHYs/Retimers

View All Parametrics

1–800 GbE PHYs for Data Center, Enterprise and Service Provider Switches and Routers

Our 1-800 GbE PHYs are well suited for data center, enterprise and service provider switches and routers, as well as high-availability switches requiring a hitless 2:1 mux, transponders, muxponders, Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning (AI/ML) and Active Electrical Cable (AEC) applications. They integrate retiming, gearboxing, a hitless 2:1 mux, crosspoint switching, optional AES-256 MACSec and IPsec encryption, port aggregation, nanosecond-level Precision Time Protocol (PTP) timestamping and Flexible Ethernet (FlexE) while operating across the industrial temperature range.

META-DX 2 Family

META-DX2 Ethernet PHYs

  • Include META-DX2L, META-DX2+ and META-DX2C devices
  • Support rates from 1 GbE to 800 GbE with a range of protocol interfaces, SerDes counts and features
  • Integrate 112 Gbps PAM4 long-reach SerDes
  • Provide up to 1.6 Tbps capacity in retiming applications and up to 1.6 Tbps capacity in gearbox and 2:1 mux applications
  • Include features such as encryption, port aggregation, Class C/D PTP and hitless 2:1 multiplexing and SerDes crosspoint functionality that enable connectivity to a variety of optical modules, Direct Attach Copper (DAC) cables, packet processors and Ethernet switches
  • Offer encryption though MACsec or IPsec at full line rate
  • Support OTN, fiber channel and AI/ML rates
  • Certain devices are pin compatible and share a common SDK for leverage across a range of designs
  • Optional compact package for AEC applications
META-DX 1 Family

META-DX1 Ethernet PHYs

  • Support rates from 1 GbE to 400 GbE
  • Integrate 56 Gbps PAM4 long-reach SerDes
  • Contain 48 high-speed SerDes blocks to enable up to 1.2 Tbps capacity, 800 Gbps when configured for gearboxing or 2:1 mux applications and 600 Gbps capacity with NRZ SerDes
  • Support retiming (analog and PCS), forward and reverse gearboxing, industry-leading time stamping accuracy to enable Class C/D PTP applications, hitless 2:1 multiplexing, crosspoint functionality and flexible I/O to enable connectivity to a variety of optical modules, DACs, packet processors and Ethernet switches
  • Certain devices support MACsec for encryption and Flexible Ethernet (FlexE) for data center interconnect and service provider applications
