Ethernet Switch Subsystem

Ethernet switching consists of a 12-port Layer 3 managed gigabit Ethernet switch with 11 1GbE copper ports and 1 10Gb port available on the front panel. A 13th 1Gb port connects the switch to one of the two 1Gb Ethernet ports on the embedded computer. The 10GbE copper port is brought out on an RJFTV style rugged connector with an RJ-45 jack contained within a 38999-style shell. Alternatively an M12 X-coded connector can be used for a 10Gb copper port, or a 38999 shell with termini can be provided for a 10Gb fiber port.

The CM2 option provides two 10GbE copper ports on M12 connectors.

The CR1 option provides one 10GbE copper port on an RJFTV ruggedized RJ-45 jack.

The FX2 option provides 2 single-mode or multimode fiber 10Gb ports on a rugged XBeam connector. (Click image for larger view.)

The FT2 option supports two single-mode or multimode 10Gb ports on termini in a 38999 shell.

The Ethernet switch includes embedded management software offering a rich set of Layer 3 routing and Layer 2 switching features. Below is a short list of some of the more popular features. A complete list is available at this link: www.diamondsystems.com/umpages/ethsw

I/O expansion is achieved via 2 PCIe / USB minicard sockets on the carrier board. I/O is brought out to the front panel on a D38999 style connector J5, combined with other system I/O. The standard connector is E size with 55 contacts, of which 31 are occupied, leaving 24 available for I/O expansion. Optional larger sizes are F with 35 available contacts and G with 48 available contacts. If less than 11 1GbE copper Ethernet ports are required in the application, additional contacts on the Ethernet connectors J3 and J4 can also be repurposed for I/O expansion.

In the diagram, blue features are present in all configurations. Red features are included in the default configuration and in varying quantities in other configurations as well as custom configurations. The two minicard sockets are not populated by default and are available for custom I/O expansion.

Choose from a range of I/O options from Diamond Systems as well as 3rd parties, including:

• Analog I/O with 16-bit A/D & D/A resolution and autocalibration
• Digital I/O with 3.3V / 5V logic levels, including counter/timers and PWMs
• Serial ports with RS-232/422/485 capability including optional opto-isolation
• 1GbE / 2.5GbE Ethernet
• CAN
• USB 2.0 / 3.0
• MIL-STD-1553
• ARINC-429
• and others

Several predefined I/O expansion configurations are available with no NRE charge and reduced leadtime. The table below lists the available options. The table below shows the available ordering codes and feature combinations. All serial ports are RS-232/422/485 capable and are preconfigured in pairs during system assembly time.

Standard D38999 G size I/O connector supporting up to 79 I/O contacts

System Configuration and Ordering

The ordering guide below lists all the standard configuration options for SabreCom-CE1. Choose one option from each category to configure your system, then contact us to obtain a quote. Several predefined I/O configurations are available with quicker leadtime and no NRE charge. For custom I/O expansion, please contact our Sales team and we will work with you to define the expansion boards and internal / external cabling and provide a custom part number.

Cable Kits

Diamond can provide lab-grade cable kits for system evaluation and testing. These cables generally consist of consumer-grade cables (HDMI, RJ-45, DB9, etc.) attached to the appropriate MIL-DTL-38999 mating connector to plug into the system front panel connectors. These are not ruggedized and not intended for use in the actual application environment. Predefined cables are available for the standard I/O connectors J1, J2, and J3. For custom I/O on J4, Diamond can design and quote a matching external cable of the same general style.
