Rugged Ethernet switch for 6U VME military mission computing and sensor processing introduced by Abaco
HUNTSVILLE, Ala. – Abaco Systems in Huntsville, Ala., is introducing the GBX25 Level 3 Managed 6U VME NETernity Ethernet switch for mission computing; fire control; radar; sensor and video networking; and industrial automation.
The switch is for configuring 6U VME network support and configuration in new systems and systems upgrades based on the 6U VME architecture. For existing users of Abaco's GBX24 and RM921B, the GBX25 offers 100 percent pin-compatible technology insertion.
It also is an enhancement for systems using the Abaco RM922, GBX16, and GBX16A switches. The GBX25 supports the Abaco OpenWare switch management environment for the military and aerospace uses.
The use of SFP modules enables systems designers to configure the GBX25 to their applications. The common platform enables engineers to use the GBX25 in several different systems without reconfiguring the management software.
The dual I/O variant of the Ethernet switch will offer as many as 40 switched ports. The maximum non-blocking switching bandwidth of 340 gigabits per second offers sufficient headroom for demanding applications. Supported interfaces include 10/100/1000BASE-T, 100BASE-FX, 1000BASE-SX, 1000BASE-LX, 10GBASE-SR, and 10GBASE-LR.
