10-port 10/100/1000 BaseT Ethernet Layer-2 switching and Layer-3 routing
Built-in test (BIT) for board self diagnostics
Rugged version, conduction cooled and air cooled versions conform to VITA 47 Specification classes ECC1, ECC2, ECC3, ECC4, EAC1, EAC2, EAC3, EAC4 , EAC5, and EAC6
Economical air-cooled version for non-rugged applications
Albuquerque, NM (May 31, 2005) â SBS Technologies, Inc. (Nasdaq:SBSE): Today, SBS Technologies, Inc. continued its role as an embedded computer market leader by introducing two 3U 10-port CompactPCI® Gigabit Ethernet switches for commercial temperature conditions and a conduction-cooled version for rugged, heat-sensitive environments. The CP3-GESW12M3, CP-GESW12M3R and CP3-GESW12M3N 10-port switches offer cost-effective high-speed network connectivity for both commercial and environmentally challenging military applications.
Designed for flexible Layer-2 switching and Layer-3 IP network routing, these managed Gigabit Ethernet switch boards require no host intervention or software drivers, resulting in easy installation and use. The switch can be managed using SSH CLI or Telnet via the RS-232 serial interface or by HTTP or SNMP over Ethernet.
"These high-speed Gigabit switches perform all Layer-2 Ethernet switching functions and run Layer-3 routing protocols including OSPF, BGP-4, IP Multicasting and QoS. Such comprehensive protocol support brings Ethernet connectivity to a wide range of challenging applications," said Bill Molyneux, Vice President of SBS General Purpose I/O Products. "All three of these switches offer system designers versatility. SBS has taken a leadership role in conforming the rugged versions of this card to 10 different VITA 47 rugged levels, which specify shock, vibration, altitude, and temperature," continued Molyneux.
The switch's extensive built-in test (BIT) functionality enables managers to conveniently test the switch remotely while it is still installed in the system. The BIT feature provides three test modes: Power On, which is run immediately following a power on reset, Background, which is run while the switch is operating and does not interfere with normal switch activity, and Commanded mode for more extensive testing.
About the convection-cooled CP3-GESW12M3
Compatible with 3U CompactPCI slots, the CP3-GESW12M3 is designed to give a developer connect-and-go functionality. It connects only to the power and hot swap signals, is operating system independent and does not require host CPU intervention. Ethernet 10BaseT, 100BaseTX and 1000BaseT physical interfaces are supported.
About the conduction-cooled CP3-GESW12M3N
The conduction-cooled CP3-GESW12M3N delivers the same ease-of-use, features and functionality as the CP3-GESW12M3 plus enhanced environmental protection with conduction cooling. This switch has an extended operating temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.
About the ruggedized CP3-GESW12M3R
The ruggedized CP3-GESW12M3R delivers the same ease-of-use, features and functionality as the CP3-GESW12M3 plus enhanced environmental protection with ruggedization and convection cooling. This switch has an extended operating temperature range of -40°C to +70°C.
Price and Availability:
Available now, the CP3-GESW12M3 is priced at US$3900, the CP3-GESW12M3R is priced at US$5200 and the CP3-GESW12M3N is priced at US$5850.
