Rugged, 14-port Gigabit Managed Ethernet Switch with 2 SFP Sockets from Diamond
Systems
Standalone Layer 2+ Ethernet switch targets harsh environment applications
Mountain View, Calif. December 2013 – Diamond Systems, a global developer of compact,
rugged, I/O-rich embedded computing solutions for a broad range of real-world applications,
today unveiled Epsilon-12G2. The rugged, managed Layer 2+ Ethernet switch module offers
twelve 10/100/1000 Mbps copper twisted pair ports and two small form factor pluggable (SFP)
sockets in a compact COM Express form factor.
The new standalone switch does not require any host computer interface. A 480 MHz MIPS
processor embedded directly into the switch manages all switch functions. The processor is
accessed via an in-band web interface over one of the Ethernet ports or via an out-of-band
command-line interface over an RS-232 serial port. The integrated web interface provides an
intuitive GUI for configuring and managing all switch functionality.
On-board memory holds dual application images, boot code, MAC addresses and other
parameters, and can also be used for program execution.
Designed for use in rugged applications including industrial, on-vehicle and military
environments, Epsilon-12G2 operates over an extended temperature range of -40°C to
+85°C. All I/O connectors are latching, providing enhanced reliability over the RJ-45
connectors used in commercial Ethernet switches. A 50% thicker PCB provides better
protection against vibration in vehicle environments. The +5 V to +40 V wide range DC/DC
power supply is compatible with all common vehicle and industrial power sources.
