TOULON, France – Kontron Modular Computers S.A.S. in Toulon, France, is introducing the XMC-ETH6 high-performance Gigabit Ethernet Switched Mezzanine Card (XMC) to enhance the networking capabilities of VPX or VME single-board computers.
The XMC-ETH6 features six ports for expanded connectivity and flexibility in network configuration. This increased port count helps enable users to establish many connections with one card.
The XMC module includes four independent 1G/2.5G ports and two independent 1G copper ports. It features six independent Ethernet controllers -- four of which support TSN/IEEE 1388 PTP.
Equipped with rugged EMC-compliant IEC 61076-standard Harting ix front connectors, the XMC-ETH6 ensures reliable and secure connectivity even in demanding environments.
The XMC-ETH6 embedded computing module offers flexible mounting options and is available in air-cooled and rugged conduction-cooled versions. The air-cooled variant features front panel Ethernet connectors that comply with the IEC 'IX' Ethernet industrial standard.
The conduction-cooled version is for use in harsh environments military and transportation applications.
