VPX3-652

Low Power 3U VPX 20-port fully featured Layer-2 managed Ethernet switch that provides up to 20 ports of copper Ethernet connectivity designed to support advanced network architectures for the defense industry.

Overview

The VPX3-652 3U VPX Ethernet Switch provides up to 20 ports of copper Ethernet connectivity. Models are available with 16 ports of tri-speed 1000Base-T backplane connections, or with 12 ports of 1000Base-T plus an additional 8 ports of 1000Base-X (SerDes) connections for mixed Base-T/Base-X environments. An additional 1000Base-T port is available on the front panel for air-cooled modules.

Part of an extensive line of Ethernet Switches and Routers from Curtiss-Wright, the VPX3-652 3U VPX Ethernet Switch supports an extensive set of Layer 2 switching features. It’s flexible management interfaces, including a powerful command line interface (CLI) for setup and configuration, as well as SNMP and Web management interfaces, accelerate development time to market and simplifying maintenance support.
