GarrettCom Blade
cPCI Hub, cPCI or VME chassis

Features

• Dual speed 10/ 100Mb, 12 port Ethernet Hub-on-acard
• Occupies a rear I/O slot, eliminating the need for a hub in a separate box
• 6U cPCI form factor, no backplane connection
• MTBF over 30 years
• NEBS Level 3 compliant, EMI Class B Magnum BLADE is a NEBS Level 3 Compliant, EMI Class B, twelveport Ethernet hub designed to fit into the Rear I/O slot of a Compact PCI chassis.

Description

The Magnum Blade is a simple solution to cPCI Ethernet system problems and eliminates the need for a hub in a separate box. It provides efficient slot utilization in a 6U cPCI form factor; it has no back plane connection, MTBF over 30 years, and complies with 100BASE-T and 10BASE-T Ethernet standards.

There are three models of the Magnum Blade available. The model DS12 has twelve 10/100Mb dual-speed ports for cPCI; and the model DS12E has twelve 100Mb-only fixed-speed ports. The model DS12-VME has the same ports, but is inserted and removed with VME-style latches. All are constructed for high reliability and low EMI noise. They insert into a rear-I/O slot of a cPCI or VME chassis, and operate from 12 VDC internal power. Each hub card is standalone, eliminating backplane connections to maximize reliability.

Magnum Blade DS12s are high availability hubs with over a 30-year MTBF. The DS12s comply with 100BASE-TX and 10BASET Ethernet standards; and have 100Mb Class II + repeater functionality. With no switch-buffer latency, the repeater design is ideal for applications with critical packet-timing requirements.

These new hub-on-a-card products are a unique alternative to bulky rack-mount hub boxes, and are a simple space-saving solution to cPCI and VME chassis-based systems needing Ethernet connectivity. The Magnum Blade and all Magnum products are designed and manufactured in the USA and are backed by a three-year warranty.
