The Silicom fbC8XG Capture card with fbCAPTURE API is a high port density packet capture and processing PCIe device. It performs at full line rate with zero packet loss on all eight 10GE ports, with a wide variety of functions. The card’s high port density is ideal for the data capture, processing, inline applications and special purpose function of fbCAPTURE.

With the high port density, it imbues applications with unprecedented scalability by offering traffic load balancing using the Tx channels of the ports. In a simple star architecture it can load balancing across 8 additional external processing appliances, as well as via DMA to the card’s host appliance itself.
Based on powerful FPGA Hardware technology, fbC8XG capture card is a high performance OEM hardware platform intended for 10GE interfacing. Via its dual QSFP+ slots fitted with fanout modules it exposes all eight bidirectional 10GE interfaces of the QSFP+ ports.
