Aeronix’s Gigabit Ethernet Switch (GES) GEN2 has a rugged design for use in military, commercial, and industrial environments. The GEN2 is a 12-port Gigabit Ethernet switch designed for integration into aircraft where size, weight, and power are a priority. GEN2 weighs two pounds, 12 ounces, with dimensions of 8.25 inches by 5.1 inches by 1.38 inches. On average, the switch consumes 16 W at 28 VDC with all 12 ports active at Gigabit speeds. It is compliant with MIL-STD-704, MIL-STD-810, and MIL-STD-461.
The GES GEN-2 Layer 2 switch is partially capable of customer-specific configurations. The management functions, which run on an ARM processor, are stored in nonvolatile memory for fixed configurations, or can be loaded at startup for application-specific requirements. No Ethernet data is stored in onboard processor RAM. While the GEN2 Built In Test (BIT) capability covers its internal functionality, the switch also uses Time Domain Reflectometry (TDR) to verify the integrity of connections to all other equipment.
