10GBase-T Chip Supplier Solarflare

Solarflare is a venture funded, start-up company based in Irvine, CA that designs 10GBase-T server adapter cards and silicon chips sets. They are a key contender in the 10GBase-T “RJ-45 Ethernet” space for datacenter servers in competition with Broadcom, Aquantia, Teranetics/PLX, AMCC/Quake and others.

Targeting to be more than just a silicon PHY supplier, Solarflare announced a line of 10GBSE-T line cards and now an optical transceiver line! SFM10G-SR multimode short reach SFP+ optical transceivers. As 10GBase-T chips have been wrestling with the high heat generated, LightCounting is glad that the “Solar” in Solarflare means “light” and not “heat”!
