Ethernet remains a megatrend for connecting systems in a heterogeneous environment. With the CN6-ECHO EKF introduces a dual Gigabit Ethernet networking interface controller (NIC) for CompactPCI® systems.
Attachment to the local network across the RJ45 jacks requires an ordinary CAT5/6 twisted-pair copper cable only, which is suitable for distances up to more than 100m. While providing the 1000Base-T standard for fastest data transfer rates, compatibility is maintained to 100Base-TX and even 10Base-T based hubs and switches.
Gigabit Ethernet has been designed to use existing cabling and equipment, hence simplifying the migration process. Integrating the 1000Mbps CN6-ECHO NIC into any CPCI system not only allows for remarkable higher data throughput, but also reduces the network load considerably due to shortened transfer times.
The CN6-ECHO is provided with a 32/64-bit CPCI interface, and can be operated at either 33MHz or 66MHz bus clock. While being compatible with all CPCI systems, the optimum performance will be achieved within a 64-bit/66MHz system.
