Description

The VadaTech UTC042 is a rugged version of the UTC004 (the most feature-rich MCH on the market). The front I/O Dual Ethernet Ports have changed from 10G copper to the 1 Gb copper, all other I/Os match the UTC004.

The management software is based on VadaTech’s robust Carrier Manager and Shelf Manager which have been deployed for years with proven results. The MCMC manages the Power Modules, Cooling Units, and up to 12 AMCs within the chassis. It also manages the optional PCIe Gen3, SRIO Gen2, 40GbE/10GbE or Crossbar Fat Pipe switches as well as the standard GbE with 1GbE uplink Base Channel switch.

The ethernet switches are managed with an enterprise grade Layer 2 or 3 switching/routing stack and they support Synchronous Ethernet.

The unit runs Linux on its centralized quad-core CPU and is hot-swappable/fully redundant when used in conjunction with a second instance of the module. The firmware is HPM.2 compliant which allows for easy upgrades.

UTC042 provides Master JTAG services to the AMCs via the JSM and has advanced clocking features including grand master clock and high-quality clock distribution/synthesis.

To withstand the higher levels of shock and vibration, VadaTech offers additional mechanical support and mechanical modifications (including heatsinks).
