New 10 Gigabit Ethernet and 6Gbps SAS / SATA XMC modules

Concurrent Technologies has released two new XMC modules to provide integrators with a method of introducing 10 Gigabit Ethernet or 6Gbps SAS / SATA ports into their existing or future systems. XMC modules are widely used to add functionality to a range of modular, open standards based form factor boards including VPX, VME and CompactPCI within the defence, security, telecommunications, scientific and industrial markets. For applications needing high speed networking connectivity, XM530/x22 provides two 10 Gigabit Ethernet ports. This module supports rear I/O connectivity making it suitable for deployment in harsh environments where boards are typically mounted inside a rugged enclosure with all external connectivity through suitable grade connectors. The conduction cooled version of XM 530/x22 is certified for operation between -40C and +85C, has a conformal coating for protection and has been tested to survive harsh levels of shock and vibration. The XM SA1/001 is an XMC module with the capability to connect to four external SAS or SATA 6 Gbps drives via a convenient front panel connector. A typical use would be to mount XM SA1/001 on a Concurrent Technologies’ processor board giving the combined solution the ability to connect to the latest, high speed drives without the need for any rear transition modules. The XM SA1/001 is expected to be used in a range of data recorders, database management and video security systems, says the company.
