The rugged WP3E20 Switch is the next-gen version of Annapolis’ best-selling SOSA™-aligned WP3E10 Switch. Both provide switching between backplane slots of multiple channels of 100Gb Ethernet, front panel I/O, and separate data and control plane switches and two Zynq UltraScale+ processors that support encrypted secure communication.
The WP3E20 also has HD connectors, which deliver dramatic increases in bandwidth and reductions in latency. It features up to fourteen 40/100Gb and twenty-four 1/10/25Gb or six 40/100Gb Ethernet ports.
The front-loading forced-air, conduction-cooled WC31DH Chassis has 13 3U OpenVPX slots. It includes:
The two HD switch slots allow the WC31DH Chassis to handle all Data and Control Plane Ethernet via one slot, with the second switch slot dedicated to the expansion plane – Ethernet, PCIe and/or LVDS. This enables deployment for low latency jamming or radar applications.
“The new VITA 91 high-density connector allows for a completely switched backplane, so the expansion plane is no longer defined by a fixed backplane PCB, but is now fully reconfigurable,” said Jay Grandin, Annapolis Micro Systems VP of Product Development.
“This not only allows for all the slots to be on the same non-blocking Ethernet switch instead of two switches chained together, but it facilitates a flexible, programmable expansion plane. The expansion plane supports either 8x Gen4 PCIe, 4x Gen4 PCIe plus eight LVDS, or 16 LVDS to each payload slot using the WP3P20 Switch which is software-configurable on a per slot basis. With the double-density WP3E20 100GbE switch, two existing standard VPX switch slots can be combined into a single high-density switch slot, freeing up a slot for the WP3P20 Expansion Plane Switch.”
The chassis includes a secure WILD Chassis Manager (WABGM2). It is SOSA-aligned and VITA 46.11 compliant, and is powered by a Xilinx UltraScale+ ZU11EG MPSoC and Microsemi PolarFire MPF200T FPGA for security functions. Multiple security and advanced features are available; contact Sarsen for details.
