fbC4XGg3 Capture Card
Quad Port SFP+ 10 Gigabit PCIe Gen3 x8 lanes Capture Card
The Silicom fbC4XGg3 Capture card is a 4 x 1/10GE capture card that performs at full line rate with zero packet loss, on all four interfaces. Even while providing the full suite of features offered via fbCAPTURE API.
With its PCIe Gen3 support, it is without bottlenecks, and is ideal for interfacing to multiple 1/10 Gigabit Ethernet links. This can be as individual links or in a load-sharing or redundancy configuration, directly from network taps, via SPAN ports or similar devices.
It is a high performance OEM hardware platform with four SPF/SFP+ ports, allowing for optimal flexibility in connectivity. The card allows utilization of the transmission capabilities of these in conjunction with fbCAPTURE features.
The fbC4XGg3 capture card is part of the fbCAPTURE family which provides a powerful and flexible Software API, as well as standard libpcap integration. Through the integration of fbCAPTURE API, applications gain support for all fbCAPTURE cards, covering Ethernet speeds from 1GE to 100GE.
