Description
SabreNet-24000 is a rugged ethernet switch intended for vehicle and other applications requiring the ability to withstand harsh environmental conditions. The design is based on Diamond’s EPS-24G4X Ethernet switch with 24 1G ports and 4 10G SFP+ sockets. The switch runs Istax Layer 3 routing/switching embedded software featuring an impressive array of features suitable for most industrial and military applications.
The standard configuration includes the 4 10G ports implemented with copper wiring via M12 X-coding connectors. Customer choice of fiber links can be accommodated as well. In the fiber configuration, the SFP+ Copper/RJ-45 modules are replaced with customer’s choice of fiber modules with LC connections, and the I/O connectors consist of D38999 size C shells with 4 fiber termini (2 ports) per shell.
Input power range is 7-40VDC. The switch includes a power filter module providing compliance with MIL-STD-461-D standards.
Embedded Software
The Istax embedded software in SabreNet-24000 provides a powerful array of features to support most embedded switch application requirements. All features are configured and managed via a GUI web interface accessible over any port, as well as with a command language accessed via a built-in RS-232 port. Customer branding is available to put your logo/color scheme/part numbers on the GUI and serial interface.
The table below shows some of the more popular features included in the software.
- 8K MAC addresses and 4K VLANs (IEEE 802.1Q)
- 8K IPv4 and IPv6 multicast group support
