SabreCom-JSP is Diamond’s new rugged platform for applications requiring custom I/O. Three connector positions are provided to support standard I/O options as well as customer-specific I/O. High-speed interfaces such as HDMI and USB 3.0 are supported via dedicated connectors. I/O expansion can be provided by a combination of PCIe/104 and PCIe minicard I/O modules.
The system is based on Diamond’s Jasper SBC which utilizes a COM Express CPU core. This design yields several important benefits. The system can be configured for a wide range of performance and power consumption levels by choosing from a variety of prequalified COMs. If the currently chosen COM reaches end of life, the program’s lifetime can be easily extended by selecting a newer one, avoiding the cost and risk associated with purchasing obsolete / EOL products or designing a new system that is backward compatible.

SabreCom-JSP contains a suite of features making it ideal for the most demanding military and rugged applications. Diamond’s rugged DC/DC power supply with MIL-STD-461/704/1275 compliance provides up to 80 watts of isolated power for internal electronics, providing ample capacity for almost any I/O configuration. Rugged D38999 or D38999-style connectors are used for all I/O. The rugged enclosure provides IP67 protection with seals at every joint. Both the embedded processor board and the power supply are conduction-cooled with direct mounting to the top and bottom surfaces of the enclosure. The product is built using the same materials, components, and methods of our Geode system which has passed MIL-STD-810H testing (see test results here).

I/O Connector Scheme |
SabreCom-JSP contains 6 connectors for power and I/O. The left three connectors J1, J2, and J3 are standard and are used for power input and all standard SBC I/O, including HDMI, gigabit Ethernet, USB 2.0, serial ports, audio, and utility signals. The remaining three connectors J4, J5, and J6 are 38999 D size and are available for standard and/or custom I/O.
The SBC used in SabreCom-JSP can be provided with a built-in data acquisition circuit. When this configuration is selected, J4 is used for analog I/O and J5 for digital I/O, leaving J6 free for a USB 3.0 connector or customer-selected I/O. The three expansion I/O connectors can however be used in a mix-and-match method to support any combination of connectors that fit in the front panel cutouts. Available combinations are shown in the photos below.
I/O expansion can be realized via installed PCIe/104 and PCIe / USB minicard expansion modules. A maximum of 2 minicards + 1 PCIe/104 module, or 6 minicards, can be accommodated. Both Diamond I/O boards and third-party I/O boards can be used.
The standard height enclosure supports up to 2 minicards. Adding more than 2 minicards, or any PCIe104 module, requires the use of the taller enclosure to support the additional boards.
connector cutouts. Custom front panel designs can also be provided if different size or style connectors are needed.
Common I/O expansion types available include (quantities shown are per installed I/O card):
- Serial ports: 4 RS-232/422/485 ports with optional isolation per minicard, or 8 ports via PCIe/104 module
- CAN: single, dual, and quad isolated CAN via minicard
- Ethernet: one 1GbE or 2.5GbE port via minicard
- USB 3.0: The Jasper SBC used in SabreCom-4 contains 3 USB 3.0 ports. Any or all of them can be brought out to the front panel as needed.
- MIL-STD-1553: dual redundant ports available via minicard
- Digital I/O: up to 36 I/O via minicard or 22 GPIO via optional integrated DAQ circuit on Jasper SBC
- Analog I/O: 8 16-bit inputs and 4 16-bit outputs, along with 16 GPIO, per minicard, or 16 16-bit inputs and 4 16-bit outputs via optional integrated DAQ circuit on Jasper SBC
Mass storage is provided via an M.2 M-Key SSD up to 2TB in capacity. Both NVMe and SATA interfaces can be supported, depending on the selected COM. All standard configurations utilize M.2 SATA SSDs.
SabreCom-JSP has a large number of standard configuration options. You can also customize it to add more I/O or make other changes. All the standard options are shown in our configuration worksheet. You can download the worksheet, fill it in, and submit it to us to request a quote.
