iPlex is capable of supporting up to 2 Gbps of bandwidth through the backplane
and routing or switching data traffic at wire speed.
The Media Control Module is a portion of the iPlex system board that provides
submodule connectivity via the carrier card. The carrier card provides a standards-
based mezzanine interface for up to four submodule cards per carrier card, and up
to two carrier cards per chassis (thus up to eight submodule cards per iPlex).
