Product Overview

The CP6924-1 is a Standard Fabric 6U CompactPCI Gigabit Ethernet Switch with 24 channels compliant to PICMG 2.16.
The board is available in three variants:
•
CP6924-1-RA-OC
20x rear GbE + 4x front GbE ports (switchable to rear IO) + 2x 10G SFP+.
With larger heat sink and ready for ext. temperature range -40 to +85°C.
•
CP6924-1-RC
24 rear GbE.
With conduction cooled heat sink and ready for ext. temperature range -40 to +85°C.
•
CP6924-1-SA-OC-V
20x rear GbE + 4x front GbE (switchable to rear IO) + 2x 1G SFPLayer 2 management, Temperature Range 0 to +60°C.
SA variant will have standard heat sinks.
A base version can provide basic Layer 2 switching. The performance line version can be layer 3 switching with 2 10 Gigabit
Ethernet uplink port.
