TurboQuad Gold ®
Applications: Building on Madison’s reputation as the current industry leader in Fibre Channel Technology, the introduction of TurboQuad® Gold as the premier performance offering for the challenging Double Speed (2.125 Gbps) Fiber Channel requirements extends Madison’s industry leadership into the next generation on Fibre Channel Products. While developed for Double Speed Fibre Channel, this excellence in performance has allowed Madison’s TurboQuad® Gold to accelerate the standard for speed in Gigabit Ethernet technology (1000Base -CX). Major OEM’s continue to utilize Madison’s engineering experience and knowledge to further extract key performance characteristics and further extend the copper media to provide low cost options for their high-speed interconnect solutions. Governed by the Fibre Channel Standards Committee and IEEE 802.3, the quest for speed and reliability has positioned Madison as a leader in the following areas: Servers
Raid Systems
Storage Devices
Workstations
Mainframes
Storage Area Networks
Bridges/Routers
Switches
