Myricom ARC Series 10 GbE Network Adapters

The Myricom ARC Series of 10 GbE network adapters provides a high throughput, low-latency network interface, with extremely accurate timestamping at line rate and zero packet loss, all in a cost-effective package. All adapters support both Windows and Linux and can be used with either Intel or IBM Power Architecture systems, maintaining future flexibility in vendors or architectures. The ARC adapters are able to track operations in real-time with less effort and more accuracy than expensive packet capture devices, using precise hardware timestamps on both ingress and egress packets.


C-Class Network Adapter

The C-Class hardware platform is the basis for the industry’s lowest cost packet capture solution, delivering zero packet loss across the full range of Ethernet packet sizes in combination with Sniffer10G software. A C-Class adapter enabled by Myricom MVA software provides the highest performance solution for content creation applications, storage connectivity and GigE Vision capable cameras in machine vision applications.

D-Class Network Adapter

The D-Class is financial trading’s lowest cost full function 10 GbE network adapter. With DBL, a tightly integrated combination of FPGA firmware and software, the D-Class drives down system-level Tick-To-Trade latency and enables advanced financial trading capabilities. Unique application-enhancing features include hardware-based A/B arbitration for up to 4 sources per feed and extremely accurate timestamping on both RECEIVE and SEND packets.

Cables and Transceivers

Cables: The Ethernet cables are available in fiber and copper as well as in many different lengths. Myricom offers SFP+ terminated “direct attach” copper cables (no transceivers) in a variety of lengths as a lower cost alterntative to using SFP+ transceivers and optical-fi ber cables.
Transceivers: There are industry-standard SFP+ (Small Form factor Pluggable 10.3125 GBaud) and XFP optical-fiber transceivers.
