Description
The “E12” module is a compact add-on network interface card (NIC) that provides Gigabit Ethernet connectivity. The module features Intel’s I210-IT Ethernet controller, supporting a single 1000Base-T port. It also features on board magnetics, which eliminates external daughter boards or other external circuitry. The E12 offers a simple solution for adding a Gigabit Ethernet interface to most embedded computer systems.
The VL-M2e-E12E is specifically designed and tested for full industrial temperature operation, ranging from -40° to +85°C, and complies with MIL-STD-202H specifications for shock and vibration. The El2 features a latching connector to prevent cable detachment in high-vibration environments.
VersaLogic’s 10+ year product life support programs ensure long-term availability. This avoids the expensive upgrades and migrations that often result from short, disposable lifecycle products.
