The CPC6620 is the most advanced PICMG® 2.16 embedded Ethernet switch on the market. Featuring support for IPv6 routing and 10 Gb switch ports, it is the latest addition to Performance Technologies’ line of award-winning switches. It also continues the long tradition of offering high-availability, fault-tolerant solutions to the telecom, aerospace and defense, and commercial markets. It is the ideal interconnect and uplink for today’s network-centric, packet-based embedded systems. While overall switch throughput is approximately twice that of prior generation gigabit switches, users retain the inherent robustness, reliability, and hot-swap capabilities of the 2.16 standard invented by Performance Technologies.

The CPC6620 features the bandwidth needed for demanding applications as well as the resilience required in high-availability applications such as airborne or ship-borne communications systems, media and signaling gateways, IP media equipment, telecom switching/routing infrastructure, and SS7 network elements. To ensure system reliability, the CPC6620 can be configured to monitor network status and to continuously check its own health through real-time integrity tests. In the event of system or network failure, data can be automatically re-routed to an alternate path.

The CPC6620 has been designed specifically to make system integration and maintenance easier, while maximizing network performance and flexibility. Its potent scripting language simplifies and automates installation and update functions. With dual switches in place, the alternate unit can obtain all of its operational and configuration information from the other switch or from an external manager, making change-out of failed modules as simple as replacing the failed board. The new unit then “clones” its setup from the configuration stored on the surviving switch. The CPC6620 features an 800 MHz processor, ECC-protected memory, an optional CompactFlash® site, front panel SFP connector options for optical uplinks, and a large number of management, rear panel I/O, and uplink choices. Each port can sustain full wire-speed, non-blocking data flows on all ports with its 96 Gbps switching fabric, which eliminates congestion in even the busiest environments.

This leading-edge product protects investments for the long term with easy FTP/TFTP updates to platform flash memory. System software is available through downloads from Performance Technologies, greatly simplifying or eliminating the need for dedicated, on-site network administration.
