Foundry Networks announced new interface modules that provide high density 100 Mbps Ethernet connectivity over multi-mode and single mode optical fiber for its BigIron Layer 3 Switches, FastIron Layer 2/3 Switches, and NetIron Metro Routers. The new interface modules are powered by Foundry's third-generation JetCore ASICs and offer advanced features including Quality of Service (QoS), wire-speed extended Access Control Lists, hardware-based sFlow for wire-speed network monitoring and rich bandwidth management features. Foundry is introducing the following three new JetCore 100BaseFX modules for different distance requirements: 100BaseFX over multi-mode fiber for 2 km; 100BaseFX-SR over single mode fiber for 15 km; and 100BaseFX-IR over single mode fiber for 40 km.
