10GBase-T PHY Products

Leadership in Energy Efficient Ethernet - Teranetics

TeraPHY® 10GBase-T PHY Products

The TeraPHY family consists of single-, dual- and quad-port integrated 10GBase-T transceivers. With the market's broadest 10GBase-T physical layer (PHY) portfolio, PLX innovation enabled successful production launch of first 10GBase-T Equipment with the industry's first single-chip solution, and the company today owns more than 60 percent market share for 10GBase-T PHY devices. PLX is presently shipping in volume while design has already begun on its fourth-generation 28nm products.

10GBase-T technology enables increased bandwidth and speed over the existing standard, structured copper infrastructure. 10GBase-T Physical Layer (PHY) devices proliferate from basic aggregation ports for switch uplinks to single- and dual-port adapter cards for server applications to high-end dense 24- and 48-port capacity 10GBase-T switches in data center applications. In every application, we offer the ideal, best-in-class, feature-rich, most integrated solutions.
