10 Gigabit Ethernet Expansion Module

The “E9” module is an extremely rugged dual 10 Gigabit Ethernet add-on expansion card, for use with copper cabling. With its stack-down three-bank PCIe/104 pass-through connector, it is ready for inclusion in a PC/104 stack. On-board magnetically isolated RJ45 ports make for easy connection to other network nodes.

For environments with wide temperature challenges, the E9 is designed and tested for full-speed operation, from -40° to +85°C. The on-board heat sinks provide the needed thermal dissipation for uncompromised throughput even at the top of the operating range.

The E9 meets MIL-STD-202H specifications for shock and vibration and uses latching connectors to address cable detachment issues in hostile environments.

When deployed in lower-speed networks, the E9 will auto-negotiate down to: 1G, 2.5G, or 5G speed.

The E9 includes IEEE 1588/802.1AS Precision Time Protocol support.  This enables precision time-synchronization between network nodes.

The E9 includes a pass-through PCIe/104 3-bank connector to enable PCIe signals to be passed through to other boards.

VersaLogic’s 10+ year product life support programs ensure long-term availability. This avoids expensive upgrades and migrations that come from short, disposable lifecycle products.
