VX6940

Product catalog summary

Overview: The VX6940 is a high-performance L2/L3 network switch designed for harsh environments, offering line-rate performance for all packet sizes and low power consumption at 50W. It aligns with the SOSA™ Technical Standard and is available in air-cooled and conduction-cooled builds.

Specifications: The switch is based on Broadcom® high-density matrix with 72 x 10GbE ports and 100 GbE capability. It includes 2 front QSFP28 ports for various optical or copper connections and 1 front QSFP+ multi-rate port. It supports multicast traffic and operates within extended temperature ranges.

Management and Features: The VX6940 offers full L2/L3 management capabilities, including SNMP monitoring, IPv4/IPv6 forwarding, routing, switching, Quality of Service, VLANs, and access control. It supports Kontron system management and VITA 46.11 management modes.

Interoperability: The switch features 12*40G data plane ports and 12*10G control planes, compliant with VITA65/Open-VPX architectures. It is designed for reliability and robustness, meeting VITA 47 standards for harsh environments.

Software: The VX6940 runs Broadcom FASTPATH software, supporting a wide range of Ethernet solutions and operating on the Linux OS. It includes modules for switching, routing, IPv6 routing, management, Quality of Service, and multicast.

Environmental Specifications: The air-cooled version operates from 0 °C to +55 °C, while the rugged conduction-cooled version operates from -40 °C to +85 °C. Both versions are designed to withstand high vibration, shock, and altitude conditions.

Ordering Information: The VX6940 is available in standard air-cooled and rugged conduction-cooled versions, with various port configurations and environmental specifications.
