Jan. 31, 2024
The VX3908 supports four 25 Gigabit Ethernet or two 50 Gigabit Ethernet links, and has no International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) restrictions.

TOULON, France – Kontron Modular Computers S.A.S. in Toulon, France, is introducing the VX3908 managed 3U VPX Layer2/3 Gigabit Ethernet switch for networking applications in harsh environments in transportation, military, and aerospace applications.

Based on the VX3940 with lower power consumption, the VX3908 features 1/10/40/50 Gigabit Ethernet bandwidth, and supports as many as 12x 10GBASE-KR ports on the VPX backplane with a standard configuration of 6x 10GBASE-KR and 1x 1000BASE-T ports.

The Ethernet networking switch offers remote monitoring and configuration through SNMP and a command line interface to manage via serial or network interfaces. Supporting IPv4/IPv6 forwarding, time synchronization per IEEE802.1AS and IEEE1588 standards, and Time Sensitive Networking (TSN) readiness, the VX3908 ensures low latency, low delay variation, and extremely low data loss for time and/or mission critical traffic.

The VX3908 guarantees communication safety with features such as VLANs, Quality of Service, and extensive Ethernet bridging and routing protocols.

The networking switch for harsh environments egress ACLs, intelligent health management via IPMC, and a powerful QorIQ LayerScape family processor ensure security and also scalability and responsiveness for management systems.

The VX3908 includes a front QSFP28 cage supporting as many as four 25 Gigabit Ethernet or two 50 Gigabit Ethernet links, and is free from International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) restrictions.
