PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Driven by rapid advancement and lower costs, Ethernet
becoming the standard for IP-based components in a
range of military and commercial applications, including:
• Battle management systems (BMSs)
• Infantry base camp deployment
• Airborne systems
• Mobile equipment fielded in harsh environments
Modern platforms contain dozens of network devices that
be interconnected. The MILTECH 948 is an ideal solution
mobile Ethernet-equipped platforms utilizing both copper
fiber connections. With the best combination of size, weight,
power and cost (SWaP-C) in the industry, it saves valuable
real estate for computers, sensors, targeting systems,
other devices that make mobile platforms highly effective.
The MILTECH948 is a MIL-STD, fully managed military
grade network switch offering the flexibility of 8 triple-speed
(10/100/1000Mbps) ports and the option of two fiber
operating at either 100Mbps or 1Gbps. The fiber ports support
multimode and singlemode fiber and single fiber wave division
multiplexing (WDM) in a variety of connector options. It can be
remotely managed to optimize communications and prioritize
critical information traffic. Advanced network features, never
before found in a package of this size, include switching
protocols, virtual LANS (VLANS), traffic prioritization (QoS),
and bandwidth aggregation are standard.
The MILTECH948’s gigabit speeds and 24VDC power make
it instantly compatible with any network device and power
systems.
Its mechanical packaging enhancements, including a single
ruggedized D38999 circular connector for the Ethernet
ports and a single TFOCA-III connector for both fiber
ports, is designed for MIL-STD-810F airborne and ground
environmental compliance and high reliability. Leveraging
best-in-class switching technology, the MILTECH 948 serves
as a robust commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) solution for
rugged LAN connectivity.
