G101 - 3U CompactPCI
®
Serial Managed Industrial Ethernet Switch
with Uplink
A flexible switch in a common modular format
The G101 is a managed 3U flexible multiport Gigabit Switch, with a 29 GBit/s Switch
matrix, implemented as a CompactPCI® Serial board. It occupies one system slot or one
per
i
pheral slot using a 4 HP front panel with two Gigabit Ethernet ports on
RJ45
connectors and one 2.5 Gb SFP cage. Alternatively, the G101 can be supplied with
three
M12 connectors on the front panel.
High speed, high efficiency and extensive protocols
The G101 guarantees high speed, high efficiency and a large software pool for various
protocols like security, time synchronicity, stability, as well as for temperature needs. The
switch supports EEE (Energy Efficient Ethernet) as a standard on all ports, IEEE1588v2 on
ports 1 to 12 and SyncE (synchronous Ethernet) as an option. Together with the new
backplane concept for MEN switches and routers, it allows high flexibility in network
applications and management.
Various connection possibilities due to various port options
The G101 either features three Ethernet ports on the front and up to 22 ports on the
rear, or alternatively all 25 ports on the rear. These include 12 ports with integrated 10/
100/1000 Mbit/s copper PHYs. In addition the G101 features a high performance port
with up to 2.5 Gbit/s for a SFP pluggable module to support a high speed uplink.
Increased reliability thanks to built-in test mechanisms
The switch is fault tolerant and restores itself on its own: If a link is temporarily
unavailable, frames can be sent via backup/redundant links (spanning tree protocol/link
aggregation) and no data loss occurs. Its built-in test mechanisms make the G101 an
even more reliable component in the communication system.
Rugged and compliant to railway standards
The railway Ethernet switch is specifically designed for rugged mobile communication
systems and fully compliant with the EN 50155 railway standard, qualified for a -40 to
+85°C operation temperature and ready for coating.
