FX 322/0xx-RC - Rugged VXS Switch

THIS PRODUCT IS NO LONGER SUITABLE FOR NEW DESIGNS

The FX 322/0xx-RC is a ruggedized conduction-cooled, Gen1/Gen2, 4-Lane PCI Express® Switch Board for use in VXS VITA 41.4 Switched Serial Backplane environments. The FX 322/0xx-RC provides a data plane with up to eighteen x4 PCI Express payload boards, a control plane with up to eighteen 1000-Base-BX ports (as per VITA 41.6) and an inter-switch interface. This VXS fabric switch gives the end-user higher bandwidth and lower latency while maintaining backward compatibility within a VME ecosystem. The PCI Express and Gigabit Ethernet fabrics provide switching for a dual star topology allowing boards within the system to communicate. The Ethernet fabric also enables interconnection between legacy VME boards. The FX 322/0xx-RC is rear I/O plug compatible with the commercial air-cooled versions. This switch board is suitable for a range of applications within the defense, industrial control, telecomms, telemetry, scientific and aerospace markets.
