VSC7398 SparX-G8e™ is a highly integrated, single chip Gigabit Ethernet switch with eight integrated GbE copper PHY ports. As part of the Vitesse SparX™ family of unmanaged or web-managed switches, SparX-G8e provides the most advanced Layer-2 Gigabit Ethernet switch solution with advanced QoS. Vitesse has eliminated the need for external processing and memory resources, allowing developers to deliver a smart switch with advanced Layer 2 capabilities at a fraction of the cost for a fully managed switch. It also has two embedded Vitesse EcoEthernet, energy-efficient features that deliver green savings equivalent to over 400mW per port. The first, ActiPHY™, enables an automatic power savings mode that can detect unused Ethernet ports on network devices and power them down or place them in stand-by mode. The second, PerfectReach™, an intelligent algorithm, actively adjusts the power level needed based on cable length, saves energy for links shorter than the full 100 meters of cable length specified by IEEE standards.
