EPSM-12G2F is a managed Ethernet switch module in an ultra-compact 2.2″ x 3.3″ (55×84mm) size offering 24x 10/100/1000Mbps copper ports and 2x 1-2.5Gbps SFP ports. It supports an embedded software package offering a full suite of Layer 2 managed Ethernet switching capabilities.
The module is intended to be used on a carrier board to implement a complete Ethernet switching solution. The core Ethernet switching technology is almost fully encapsulated on the module; for many applications, only the «last inch» of magnetics and I/O connectors is required to complete the circuit, enabling easy development of custom form factor compact, rugged Ethernet switch solutions.
EPSM-12G2F offers compelling advantages over in-house designed Ethernet switches requiring mid-range software features:
EPSM-12G2F includes the feature-rich WebStaX Layer 2 managed Ethernet switch software. The table below shows some of the more popular features included:
Two cooling accessory options are available: A heat sink provides convection cooling in a low profile, while a heat spreader provides improved conduction cooling for superior high temperature performance in applications where physical contact with the system enclosure is available.
Development SupportA design guide is available with circuit details and other technical information necessary to design a carrier board around the EPSM-12G2F. A development kit is also available including:
