Keysight Technologies and Credo Semiconductor have demonstrated IEEE P802.3dj draft specification compliant 1.6Tbit/s Ethernet measurements for full line rate Layer 2 Ethernet traffic in hardware. “This provides proof that 1.6T Ethernet speed is possible, and that its performance can be measured,” according to Keysight. The rig transmits and processes more than a billion packets per second over a two meter electrical ...
Ennovi has introduced a 10Gbit/s Ethernet connector with USCAR interface and press-fit PCB pins. Called Ennovi-Net, “this innovation completely avoids the need for soldering”, the company said. “As solder usage is eliminated, there are no variations in the amount of solder paste applied and the capacitance associated with this. In addition, the shortness and lower capacitance of press-fit pins, compared ...
Perle Systems has introduced industrial grade real-time managed Ethernet switches with both fibre and copper ports, in a 45 x 93 x 109mm DIN rail mount package. “This represents a significant advancement in network infrastructure for industrial environments,” claimed the company. “The two 1000Base-X fiber connectors can extend Gigabit Ethernet operating distances over fibre up to 160km.” The fan-less units come ...
Moxa has introduced families of Ethernet switches for industrial environments. Spread across EDS-2000 and EDS-4000, they are being stocked in the UK by Impulse Embedded. “The core difference between ranges is their manageability: EDS-4000 switches are managed, which provides a higher level of control, security and optimisation,” according to Impulse, “EDS-2000 switches are unmanaged, which means that these function out-of-the-box, ...
Two new industrial communications products from Brainboxes will be on the Farnell stand at the National Manufacturing Supply Chain Exhibition in Dublin. PE-505 is a 55 x 55 x 10mm five-port 10 and 100Mbit/s (10BASE-T/100BASE-T) isolated (1.5kV) Ethernet switch PCB with non-blocking layer 2 operation, that can be built into equipment. Operation is from 3.3V (1.3W) or 4.5 – 12V ...
Mellanox has announced the launch of its SN4000 Ethernet switches, powered by the Spectrum-3 12.8 Tbps Ethernet switch ASIC. The devices are designed for cloud, ethernet storage fabric, and AI interconnect applications. There are multiple form-factors available supporting combinations of up to 32 ports of 400GbE, 64 ports of 200GbE and 128 ports of 100/50/25/10GbE. The switches are designed to ...
Marvell has launched the 88X9121P, a dual 400GbE (gigabit Ethernet) PHY transceiver with 100GbE serial electrical I/O capabilities, designed for secured high-density optical infrastructure. The device offers 256-bit MACsec encryption, class C compliant precision time protocol (PTP) timestamping and Marvell’s 112G pam4 serdes technology for high-density 400GbE and 100GbE deployments. 100G serial electrical signaling optical modules allow 1:1 mapping between ...
Würth is offering a surface-mount single port for 1000Base-T Ethernet industrial LAN connections. Each device contains four sets of inductive components, one for each twisted pair within the Ethernet cable. “WE-LAN AQ transformer convinces in an exemplary fashion in terms of crosstalk, insertion loss, return loss, differential and common-mode rejection,” claimed the firm. This data sheet gives the numbers as: crosstalk ...
To boost signalling data rate, Smiths Interconnect has introduced ‘split-pair quadrax’ contacts to its rugged D-Sub connector series. Just in case you are not familiar with twinax and quadrax: coax has a single central conductor inside a circular shield, twinax has two side-by-side conductors in a circular shield and quadrax has four. Until now, twinax connector inserts in this size ...
Texas Instruments has announced a multi-protocol gigabit time-sensitive networking (TSN)-enabled processor family, claiming it to be the first anywhere. Called Sitara AM6x, the industrial-grade family has quad and dual Arm Cortex-A53 core variants aimed at industry 4.0 factory automation, motor drives and grid infrastructure. Gbit TSN, EtherCAT, Ethernet/IP and PROFINET are supported by a specific subsystem called PRU-ICSS-Gb. Different capability ...
