EPSM-12G2F is a managed Ethernet switch module in an ultra-compact 2.2″ x 3.3″ (55 x 84mm) size offering 24 10/100/1000Mbps copper ports and 2 1-2.5Gbps SFP ports. It supports an embedded software package offering a full suite of Layer 2 managed Ethernet switching capabilities. The module is intended to be used on a carrier board to implement a complete Ethernet switching solution. The core Ethernet switching technology is almost fully encapsulated on the module; for many applications, only the “last inch” of magnetics and I/O connectors is required to complete the circuit, enabling easy development of custom form factor compact, rugged Ethernet switch solutions.
EPSM-12G2F offers compelling advantages over in-house designed Ethernet switches requiring mid-range software features:
- Small size fits into robots, drones, and other applications where size and weight are critical
- Rugged design and wide temperature capability are ideal for vehicle applications where high levels of shock and vibration are present
- Off the shelf solution significantly reduces development time and risk
- Built-in embedded software provides the most popular managed switch features, all configurable via web or serial port interfaces, eliminating the need for any software development
