The GP2 is a 3U Gigabit Ethernet PHY line card implemented as a CompactPCI Serial board. It occupies one peripheral slot using a 4 HP front panel with four Gigabit Ethernet ports on SFP cages.

The GP2 is designed to work in combination with the G101 CompactPCI Serial managed industrial Ethernet switch.

The GP2 provides four cages for 100BASE-FX, 1000BASE-SX, 1000BASE-LX and 1000BASE-ZX SFP modules. Each interface supports a data transfer rate of 1 Gbit/s max, and provides two LEDs to indicate the link and activity status.

The GP2 operates with a primary voltage supply of +12 V, which is provided via the rear CompactPCI serial connector. All additional required voltages are generated onboard. It is fully compliant with the EN 50155 railway standard, qualified for a -40 to +85°C operation temperature and ready for coating.

The GP3 is a 3U Gigabit Ethernet PHY line card, with optional PoE support, implemented as a CompactPCI Serial board. It occupies one peripheral slot using a 4 HP front panel with four Gigabit Ethernet ports on M12 X-coded connectors. Alternatively, the GP3 can be supplied with four RJ45 connectors on the front panel.

The GP3 is designed to work in combination with the G101 CompactPCI Serial managed industrial Ethernet switch.

The GP3 features four connectors on the front panel, which can be used to create 4 ports of copper Gigabit Ethernet. In addition, the card can act as Power over Ethernet (PoE) Power Sourcing Equipment (PSE), supplying other devices on all ports with power. Each interface supports a data transfer rate of 1 Gbit/s, and provides two LEDs to indicate the link and activity status.

Unmanaged Industrial Ethernet Switch

The G304 is an unmanaged 3U Ethernet switch implemented as a CompactPCI Serial board. It occupies one peripheral slot, using a 4 HP front panel with 4 Gigabit Ethernet ports on RJ45 or X-coded M12 connectors, and one direct Ethernet connection to the CPU card using PCI Express on P1. A P6 connector can optionally extend the number of Ethernet channels available on the board to six.

Reliable Communication System Component

The G304 supports full-duplex and half-duplex operation with auto-negotiation, high-speed nonblocking store-and-forward switching. Its built-in test mechanisms make the G304 an even more reliable component in the communication system.

In addition, the switch can act as Power over Ethernet Plus (PoE+) Power Sourcing Equipment (PSE), supplying other devices on all ports with up to 30 W (class 0, 1, 2, 3, 4) per port for power according to IEEE 802.3 Section 2 – Type 1 and 2 (formerly known as IEEE 802.3at). The maximum power available for one G304 is limited to 61.6 W, according to CPCI-S.0 specification.

Compliant to Railway Standards

The board is specifically designed for rugged mobile communication systems. It is, for example, compliant with the EN 50155 railway standard, supports a -40 °C to +85 °C operating temperature and rail-ready versions are coated.
