The Gigabit Ethernet Switch (GES) provides twelve internally connected 1000 Base-T Ethernet ports for use in military applications that require ultra-high data transfer rates in a self contained ruggedized package. Each of the twelve ports can individually auto-detect data rates of 10, 100, or 1000 Base-T, or can be manually managed externally. The embedded Management Processor allows the user to modify the switch configuration settings on-the-fly, and remotely monitor switch status and throughput in real time.

Fully Qualified* for Flight Use.

The management functions of the 12-Port GES can be stored in non-volatile memory for fixed configurations, or loaded at startup for application specific assignments.

The ultra compact rugged design requires no forced air or conductive cooling, allowing operation in a broad range of harsh environments.

Incorporating the 12-Port GES into your design allows the use of high speed Ethernet connectivity between any or all of your devices while virtually eliminating data-rate bottlenecks. This allows platforms to share data between sensors and processors at speeds significantly higher than MIL-STD-1553 connections.

Key Features

• 12 ports, each capable of 1000Mbps full-duplex, 10Mbps or 100Mbps full or half duplex
• Egress tagging/untagging selectable per port or by 802.1Q VLAN ID
