CPC4416

24-Port 10/100 + 2-Port Gb TX Ethernet Switch

  • 24 10/100 + Two 10/100/1000 TX Ethernet Ports
  • FlexLink™ Site (PICMG® 2.15 PTMC Type 5-Compliant)
  • Wire-Speed Layer 2 Switching/Layer 3 Routing
  • 9 Gbps Switching Speed
  • Support for Both 2.16 and Non-2.16 Modes

"...The high availability and ease of use of Performance Technologies' Ethernet switch was the key arguments for our selection process."

- Mark Howell, Manager, Core Switching and Call Feature Platforms, Siemens

The CPC4416 is a robust, flexible, full wire-speed Layer 2/3 10/100/1000 Ethernet switch compatible with both standard CompactPCI® and PICMG® 2.16 backplanes. Featuring 24 10/100 + 2 Gb TX ports, it is designed to be used as a high-speed interconnect between devices in a PICMG 2.16 chassis or as a core switch in a fault-tolerant cluster of embedded systems. This fourth-generation switch is the market leader in the most complete, capable, and award-winning line of embedded Ethernet switching products in the industry.

The CPC4416 has been specifically designed to make embedded system integration tasks easier, so projects can get to market sooner. It comes with a potent scripting language that can be used to easily change switch configuration and behavior, attached client setups, fail-over rules, etc., based on SNMP traps, network events, or system configuration/topology changes.

This switch can be deployed in a fully redundant, non-blocking network that prevents single points of failure from halting network traffic. Devices with dual

Ethernet ports can be connected to one or both switches. If a link, PHY, or the continuous, real-time integrity test fails on the switch, data can be re-routed to an alternate path, thereby maintaining network connections.

This switch as a very low mean-time-to-repair (MTTR). The replacement unit can obtain all of its operational and configuration information from the other CPC4416 or from an external manager, making change-out of failed modules as easy as sliding one blade out and replacing it with a new one. The CPC4416 has no active components on its rear panel I/O cards, which ensures that failed units can be easily replaced without disturbing cables or other blades in the chassis.

The CPC4416 is intended for use in high-availability, fault-tolerant solutions for embedded data communications, wireless, IP telephony, broadband access, defense, aerospace, and highavailability systems.
