Quimper, France, March 09, 2021- Interface Concept, a leader in commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) solutions is announcing the ComEth4000e, a new 6U VME 1/10/40 Gigabit Ethernet Switching board, dedicated to Defense and industrial high-computing applications.
Compared to its ComEth4000a predecessor, the ComEth4000e Gigabit Ethernet switch features 10/40 Gigabit Ethernet ports made available via special mezzanine boards, on a 1-slot or 2-slots 6U VME form-factor (aircooled configuration).
The single-slot 6U VME board comes with 12 x 1000BASE-T Ethernet ports while the dual-slot 6U VME board provides up to 24 x 1000BASE-T Ethernet ports on the front panel. Both configurations offer 8 x 1000BASE-T Ethernet ports as an option on the VME P0 connector, and can be equipped with up to 5 mezzanine boards (factory-build) providing 10GBASE-T, SFP+ (1G/10G), SFP (100M/1G) or QSFP (40G) ports instead of the 4 front 1000BASE-T ports.
This flexible product design allows the user to choose from various Ethernet interface configuration according to its application requirements.
The ComEth4000e managed Layer2/3 Ethernet switch is powered by a highly integrated Marvell System-on-a- Chip (SoC) with programmable packet processors. Its Ethernet switch matrix is managed with an independent Marvell ARMv7 dual-core processor, supporting the Switchware network management application. This high performance Layer3 switch can be remotely configured by the Switchware web interface, SNMP or CLI interfaces. Moreover, this product offers IPv4/IPv6 routing capabilities.
“Our engineers have designed a flexible Ethernet Switch for 6U VME legacy systems, with a full array of configurations to meet integrators’ demanding applications, "said Pierre Ansquer, Interface Concept’s Business Development and Customer Support Director.
