VSC7423 is one of the most versatile Gigabit Ethernet (GE) switches in the industry. It integrates seven SGMII ports, five GE copper PHYs, and an embedded CPU into a single package. It also provides full support for MEF service delivery, network OAM, and Synchronous Ethernet (SyncE) timing. It is ideal for Telecom and Carrier Ethernet (CE) applications, Mobile and Microwave backhaul applications, and for provider service demarcation points in Edge and Access devices. For critical network timing, the VSC7423 device uses VeriTime™ IEEE 1588, patent-pending timing technology that delivers the industry’s most accurate IEEE 1588 network timing and synchronization implementation
