Description

EPSM-8G2F is a managed Ethernet switch module in an ultra-compact 2.2" x 3.3" (55 x 84mm) size targeting cost-sensitive applications with modest Ethernet switch requirements but advanced management capabilities. It offers 8 10/100/1000Mbps copper ports and 2 2.5Gbps ports. It supports an embedded software package offering a full suite of Layer 3 managed Ethernet switching capabilities. The module is intended to be used on a carrier board to implement a complete Ethernet switching solution. The core Ethernet switching technology is almost fully encapsulated on the module. For many applications, only the "last inch" of magnetics and I/O connectors is required to complete the circuit, enabling easy development of custom form factor compact, rugged Ethernet switch solutions.

EPSM-8G2F offers compelling advantages over in-house designed Ethernet switches requiring mid-range software features:

• Small size fits into robots, drones, and other applications where size and weight are critical
• Rugged design and wide temperature capability are ideal for vehicle applications where high levels of shock and vibration are present
• Off the shelf solution significantly reduces development time and risk
• Built-in embedded software provides the most popular managed switch features, all configurable via web or serial port interfaces, eliminating the need for any software development

For a complete off-the-shelf solution, consider our EPS-8002F, which consists of the EPSM-8G2F module mounted on a carrier board with 2 SFP sockets and an integrated heat spreader.

Cooling Options

A heat sink accessory is available for free air cooling of the switch IC on EPSM-8G2F. Power dissipation is low enough that no forced air cooling is required.

Development Support

A design guide is available with circuit details and other technical information necessary to design a carrier board around the EPSM-8G2F. A development kit is also available including:

• A complete EPS-8002F switch with the EPSM-8G2F module installed
• A cable kit
• A technical design package (schematics, PCB layout, and Bill of Materials) of our EPS-8002F carrier board, featuring support for 8 1G ports from the module, dual SFP sockets, LED control logic, and power supply circuit
• CPLD code for status LED control logic
• Free custom branding of the embedded software (logo / color / title only; custom configurations are extra charge)
