Parvus DuraNET 20-11

The Parvus DuraNET 20-11 is an ultra-small form factor, rugged Commercial Off the Shelf (COTS) 8-port Gigabit Ethernet (GigE) switch. The DuraNET 20-11 is optimized for extremely demanding size, weight and power (SWaP) constrained vehicle and aircraft platforms that are exposed to harsh environmental and noisy electrical conditions (e.g. high altitude, extreme shock and vibration, extended temperatures, humidity, dust and water exposure, noisy EMI and/or dirty power).

The unit boasts an ultra-miniature “pocket-sized” design with a physical size of roughly 10in³ in volume, 0.50lb in weight and 5W typical power consumption. Bringing out Ethernet, power, console and zeroize signals over micro-miniature MIL circular connectors, the unit is well suited for the low size and weight applications with demanding electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) requirements. Designed for military and civil aircraft use as well as ground vehicle installations, the Parvus DuraNET 20-11  features integrated EMI and power filtering for the input voltages, spikes, surges, transients and EMI/EMC compatibility requirements of MIL-STD- 704F, MIL-STD-1275D, MIL-STD-461F and RTCA/DO-160.

This 8-port Rugged Gigabit Ethernet Switch from Curtiss-Wright was engineered for high reliability and validated through extensive qualification testing for extreme EMI/EMC (MIL-STD-461F, DO-160F) and environmental (MIL-STD-810G, DO-160) conditions. With extended temperature capabilities ranging from -40°C to +85°C, exceptional resistance to shock, vibration, humidity, altitude, and dust/water ingress make the Parvus DuraNET 20-11 an exceptionally reliable Local Area Network (LAN) switching solution. It’s an ideal choice for technology upgrades and new platforms to seamlessly connect Ethernet-enabled embedded devices like sensors, cameras, computers, and command-and-control equipment. This robust solution is specifically designed for digital networked architectures at the network edge, guaranteeing optimal performance.
