The 12- or 24-port unmanaged NETernity CP981RC CompactPCI gigabit Ethernet switch allows users to configure the maximum number of communications ports within a single or dual CompactPCI slot.
The switch “introduces a new cost point with very attractive
price/performance and port densities” says Rubin Dhillon,
communications product manager at the vendor. “This is the board that
will allow customers to achieve full wire-speed Gigabit Ethernet
switching once out of reach because of the cost.” The Layer-2 switch
provides support for 10BaseT, 100BaseTX and1000BaseT, 1000BaseSX or
1000LX interfaces. Both copper and fiber interfaces can be supported on
the same switch. It supports hot-swap capability and is
field-replaceable while the system is running.GE Fanuc Intelligent Platformswww.gefanuc.com800.433.2682
