Broadcom has added four new physical layer transceivers (PHYs) to its portfolio of 10 gigabit Ethernet (GbE) and 40GbE high-speed Ethernet products for optical fiber communications. The new SFP+ physical layer transceivers (PHYs) include a variety of dual, quad and octal-channel devices for data center and enterprise networks, enabling the transition from 1GbE to 10GbE and 40GbE, and are based on advanced 40nm CMOS architecture. All four devices feature Broadcom’s fourth generation of EDC technology, enabling data transmission on a 10GbE or 40GbE serial interface. This feature is ideal for applications requiring transmission over multimode fiber (MMF) at distances up to 300m (LRM) using OM3 fiber and SFP+ copper twin-axial cable (CR). Sampling is underway.

From the Graveyard
You just read about Broadcom. One of the companies whose work it now carries:
BroadLight built GPON processors and broadband access silicon. What became of it?
BroadLight brought GPON processors and broadband access silicon to Semiconductor. That work was distinctive enough to lead to its acquisition by Broadcom for US$230M. The standalone name now passes into the archive — but the team and technology continue inside Broadcom today. One of 430 names here whose work outlived the company.
