New multi-gig Ethernet adapter for portable use

Vector presents its compact multi-gig USB-to-Ethernet adapter VN5601. The adapter is not just high performing; its compact dimensions make it ideal for portable use and provide an easy connection to Vector hardware. This new adapter can be employed for standard Ethernet IEEE 2.5GBASE-T and IEEE 1000BASE-T.

The new device offers the user a small, compact, portable adapter for simulation, test tasks, and network analysis in an Ethernet environment.

The adapter connects devices with a standard Ethernet interface to the PC via USB 3.0. without affecting the Windows networking infrastructure. It also aids the connection of other company products with Ethernet interfaces, such as VN5240, VX1135, VX1161 and CSM modules. These can therefore be employed ideally without repercussions on the Windows network infrastructure. The connection to the computer and the power supply is via USB 3.0.

Devices connected to the adapter are synchronised via IEEE 1588 (PTP), while precise hardware time stamps deliver ideal time synchronisation.
