The Broadcom BCM88795CB0KFSBG is a switch fabric element device that the product title describes as a scalable, self-routing fabric element with 9.6 Tbps of switching capacity. The catalog record carries only packaging data, tray packaging of 32 units, and no electrical, package or interface attributes, so throughput, port configuration, power and package details should be confirmed against the Broadcom datasheet. The catalog files it under digital signal processors, while the title identifies a switch fabric element; the title description has been used here. A fabric element sits in the centre stage of a multi-stage switching fabric, forwarding cells between the line-card packet processors that connect to it.

Fabric elements are used in chassis-based and disaggregated routers and switches, where line cards containing packet processors connect through a common fabric stage to build a single logical system with very high aggregate capacity. Typical deployments are carrier core and edge routers, data centre spine systems and large modular switches built by networking OEMs. Buyers are usually network equipment manufacturers, contract manufacturers and repair or spares operations supporting installed platforms.
