fbC2CGg3 Capture Card

Dual Port QSFP28 Ethernet Capture Card

The Silicom fbC2CGg3 dual capture card offers 2x100GE network connectivity and line rate capture with zero packet loss and hardware packet processing. The card supports multiple speeds in the same hardware, incl 10/25/40/100 GE. Even support for 50GE can be included.

The fbC2CGg3 dual capture card is based on cutting edge Xilinx FPGA technology, providing packet filtering, advanced processing, traffic management, load balancing and host offloading mechanisms.

This high performance hardware platform connects to 100GE using QSFP28 modules and performs packet processing, while delivering a sustained throughput to host memory of up to 112 Gbps. The use of QSFP28 cages also allows use of QSFP to support 8x10GE, 2x40GE as wells as 2x25GE. The 25GE support is using SFP28 with QSA28 adapter. An 8x25GE solution using breakout cables can be customized.

The card uses a single-slot PCIe solution through a 16-lane PCIe slot to enable effective traffic management and load balancing also in NUMA environments.

This dual port capture card is also available as a cost optimized variant for 8x10GE, 2x40GE, 2x25GE and 2x100GE. On 2x100GE the cost optimized variant has reduced filter capacity. The cost-optimized variant is name as fbC2CGg3-std

The card comes with active cooling, a sturdy PCB and a braced FPGA, avoiding the risks associated with PCB vibration and transport.
