Additionally, low latency is achieved via internal architecture that does not require a ‘store and forward’ switch chip, which in turn lowers the final cost of the product,” comments David Zaveski, Senior Sales Engineer at IMC Networks.The IE-iMcV-2xLIM is scheduled to ship in May through IMC Networks’ network of distributors. Model 850-1860 is listed at $320.Visit IMC Networks.
