Description
The 'E6' module is an extremely small and rugged Gigabit Ethernet add-on interface that is available with or without support for Power-Over-Ethernet (POE+). Fully contained on a single Mini PCIe module, it does not require an additional daughter cards for magnetic isolation or POE injection circuitry. It provides a simple, clean, rugged way to add an Ethernet interface to most embedded computer systems.
The E6 optionally includes Power Over Ethernet Support (POE+). This ensures that a wide variety of devices, including cameras and wireless access points, can be powered over the Ethernet connection.
The E6 includes IEEE 1588/802.1AS Precision Time Protocol support. This enables precision time-synchronization between network nodes
The VL-MPEe-E6E and VL-MPEe-E6E-P are designed and tested for full industrial temperature (-40° to +85°C) operation and meets MIL-STD-202H specifications for shock and vibration. It uses a latching connector to address cable detachment issues in hostile environments.
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.
