10 GBE-1 GBE FAT PIPE SWITCH MODULE
Fig. 5-8 shows how the 10 GbE-1 GbE fat pipe switch module maps to ports defined by the
AMC.0 specification; see
Fig. 1-3 for the full port mapping diagram.
Figure 5-8: AMC Port Map Fat Pipes Region–10 GbE-1 GbE
Fat Pipes: This region supports data path connections such as GbE. It can carry large amounts of data
without significantly degrading the speed of transmission.
x4: This refers to the link width of the port (the number of lanes that can be used to intercon-
nect between two link partners).
The following diagram shows the implementation of the 10 GbE-1 GbE fat pipe switch
module on the KAT4000:
