Overview

The versatile, high-performance VPX3-6826 Ethernet switch from Curtiss Wright provides rugged Ethernet switching for the next generation of 3U systems. This 3U Rugged Ethernet Switch is developed in alignment with the Sensor Open Systems Architecture™ (SOSA) Technical Standard to ensure interoperability with today’s latest VPX systems.

Backplane copper connectivity provides up to 24 ports of Data Plane and 7 or 8 ports of Control Plane Ethernet. Optional front-panel network ports add Control and Data Plane optical interfaces for simplified external connectivity. The VPX3-6826 high-performance architecture is suitable for low-latency, time-critical, and high-throughput data-centric applications.

The VPX3-6826 supports a complete suite of Time-Sensitive Networking (TSN) features on its Control Plane, ideal for time-sensitive and deterministic traffic.

A fully managed multi-layer Ethernet switch and router, the VPX3-6826 supports an extensive range of network services including efficient multicast, flexible quality of service (QoS) and a range of security features. On-board management software provides a powerful command line interface (CLI), SNMP, and web-based options for configuration and monitoring.

Validated for deployment in the harshest environments, the VPX3-6826 is available in conduction-cooled L300 ruggedization with 2LM covers and is suitable for high-reliability embedded ground, naval, airborne, and commercial/industrial applications.
