Description

The VadaTech 3U VPX012 switch with integrated health management (software option), is the most feature-rich and powerful 3U VPX 100G switch in the market. The management software is based on VadaTech’s robust Carrier Manager and Shelf Manager which have been tested, approved, and deployed for years by our customers.

The Shelf Manager in the quad-core CPU manages the Power Modules, Cooling Units, and the VPX payload modules within the chassis per VITA46.11 with Tier1 and Tier2 capability. It also manages the 1/2.5/5/10/12/25/40/50/100GbE switch.

The 100G Ethernet switch is managed with an enterprise grade Layer 2/3 switching/routing stack which also supports Synchronous Ethernet (SyncE) as well as IEEE1588.

The x16 SERDES going to the P1 and x16 SERDES going to the P2 can be configured as a mix of 1G, 2.5G, 5G, 10G, 12G, 25G, 40G, 50G and 100G.  The 40G requires four lanes, the 50G requires two lanes and 100G requires four lanes.

The VPX012 runs Linux on its centralized quad-core CPU and has redundancy capability when used in conjunction with a second instance of the module. The firmware is HPM.2 compliant which allows for easy upgrades.

VPX012 provides ordering options for JTAG over Ethernet when used in conjunction with a JTAG Switch Module (JSM) in the chassis.  It has ordering options for advanced clocking features including GPS grand master clock and high-quality clock synthesis/distribution.
