Rochester, NY -- April 25th, 2007 -- Xelic, Inc. today announced the immediate availability of their new 10Gb Ethernet Rate Adaptation Core (XCE10GA). The XCE10GA performs rate adaptation through the insertion and removal of complete PCS blocks containing idle characters to provide maximum transparency capability. Optional flow control is provided through the insertion of programmable PAUSE frames in open or closed loop configurations. 10GBASE-R and 10GBASE-W applications are supported with 64B/66B transmission codes transferred at a 10Gb rate using a 64-bit data bus operating at 161.13Mb/s.
