Myricom 10G-PCIE2-8C2-2S-SYNC

Myricom Two-Port 10-Gigabit Ethernet timecode-Enabled Network Adapters for applications such as cybersecurity and high frequency trading where accurate timestamping, lossless packet sniffing and injection at line rate, and cutting edge latencies are required.

Benefits

• Connects to CDMA or GPS timecode sources, providing timestamps traceable back to UTC
• Allows synchronization with other 10G-PCIE2-8C2-2S-SYNC network adapters
• Eliminates the need to run less precise protocols such as PTP or NTP
• Increased throughput performance and low host-CPU utilization achieved with stateless offloads
• SFP+ sockets for 10GBase-SR, LR and LRM modules, as well as cost-effective Direct Attach copper and EOE cables
• Latency performance equal to Myricom’s lowest latency product: 10G-PCIE2-8C2-2S

Key Features

• Compatible with IRIG-B00X timecode formats
• Wire-speed performance from both network ports concurrently
• Firmware-controlled stateless offloads
• 5 million hour MTBF (200 FIT)

Introduction:

High performance applications

10G-PCIE2-8C2-2S-SYNC network adapters are designed for applications such as cybersecurity and high frequency trading where accurate timestamping, lossless packet sniffing and injection at line rate, and cutting edge latencies are required.

Timecode synchronization

Timecode-based synchronization provides more accurate time information than other approaches such as precision time protocol (PTP) and network time protocol (NTP).

Timecode-based synchronization is not subject to network delays, doesn’t require a dedicated Ethernet network for time distribution, is easier to deploy and maintain, and allows full use of both adapter ports while maintaining timestamp accuracy.

PTP-based solutions are not suited for accurate distributed timestamping and NTP-based solutions are at least an order of magnitude less accurate.
