The Silicom Denmark fbC2XG is a 2x10GE capture card that can capture and filter at full line rate with zero packet loss on both interfaces, while providing the full suite of features offered via fbCAPTURE API.
It is a high performance OEM hardware platform with two SFP+ ports, allowing for optimal flexibility in connectivity. The card allows utilization of the transmission capabilities of these in conjunction with fbCAPTURE features.
fbC2XG has full support for all fbCAPTURE features, and full line rate capture and inline function. With it’s two SFP+ ports it is is ideal for single tap monitoring or for data acquisition through traffic groomers or SPAN port devices. As all other fbCAPTURE cards it offers top of the line precision and accuracy in timestamping.
The fbC2XG is part of the fbCAPTURE family which provides a powerful and flexible Software API, as well as standard libpcap integration. Through the integration of fbCAPTURE API, applications gain support for all fbCAPTURE cards, covering Ethernet speeds from 1GE to 100GE.
