Introducing the XChange3031: A Robust Ethernet Switch for Challenging Environments

The XChange3031, developed by X-ES, is a durable 3U VPX Ethernet switch tailored for embedded systems operating in demanding, unmanned settings. this device is meticulously designed to ensure non-blocking, wire-speed data transmission, featuring a compact interface that includes a 40GBASE-KR4 backplane port, several 10GBASE-KR and 10GBASE-T connections, and up to eight 1000BASE-T ports.

Exceptional Performance and Compliance

with conduction cooling and adherence to REDI standards as per VITA 48, the XChange3031 guarantees reliable performance under diverse deployment conditions. It supports jumbo frames of up to 10 kB, incorporates IPv6 functionality, and utilizes IEEE 1588v2 for precise timing. As a fully managed Layer 2 switch, it offers features such as VLAN tagging, link aggregation, various spanning tree protocols, SNMP management, port security, Quality of Service (QoS), and multicast filtering.

Enhanced Capabilities with Layer 3 Integration

For those seeking advanced networking solutions, the optional integration with the XChange6300 Cisco IOS-XE® Embedded Services Router elevates the XChange3031 into a formidable Layer 3 router, ideal for tactical networking applications. This switch is designed for use within modular open systems architectures, providing versatile configuration options, refined diagnostics, and compatibility with embedded development platforms. This makes it notably suitable for next-generation autonomous vehicles and C4ISR (Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance) payload networks.
