cPCI hub

is a NEBS Level 3 Compliant, EMI Class B, twelve port Ethernet hub designed to fit into the Rear I/O slot of a Compact PCI chassis. The is a simple solution to cPCI Ethernet system problems and eliminates the need for a hub in a separate box. It provides efficient slot utilization in a 6U cPCI form factor; it has no back plane connection, MTBF over 30 years, and complies with 100BASE-T and 10BASE-T Ethernet standards. There are three models of the available.

The model DS12 has twelve 10/100Mb dual-speed ports for cPCI; and the model DS12E has twelve 100Mb-only fixed-speed ports. The model DS12-VME has the same ports, but is inserted and removed with VME-style latches. All are constructed for high reliability and low EMI noise. They insert into a rear-I/O slot of a cPCI or VME chassis, and operate from 12 VDC internal power. Each hub card is standalone, eliminating backplane connections to maximize reliability.

DS12s are high availability hubs with over a 30-year MTBF. The DS12s comply with 100BASE-TX and 10BASET Ethernet standards; and have 100Mb Class II + repeater functionality. With no switch-buffer latency, the repeater design is ideal for applications with critical packet-timing requirements. These new hub-on-a-card products are a unique alternative to bulky rack-mount hub boxes, and are a simple space-saving solution to cPCI and VME chassis-based systems needing Ethernet connectivity.

The Blade is designed and manufactured in the USA and are backed by a three-year warranty
