“Our new Parvus DuraNET 20-10 continues Curtiss-Wright’s commitment to deliver the most advanced, cost-effective rugged networking solutions for demanding defense and aerospace platforms,” said Lynn Bamford, Sr. VP/GM, Defense Solutions division. “Its a stand-out addition to our broad portfolio of standalone rugged network switch subsystems and provides our customers with a new level of SWaP-C reduction for technology refresh and new platform designs.”
Designed for optimal performance in harsh conditions, the rugged COTS unit features MIL-DTL-38999 connectors in a sealed IP67 (dust/water proof) aluminum chassis. Small and lightweight, the DuraNET 20-10 makes no compromises in GbE Switch performance with fully managed Layer 2 networking features, 20 ports of 10/100/1000Mbps connectivity, and an integrated management processor. Its extremely low power overhead enables reliable LAN switching across extended operating temperature ranges (-40 to +71C). Built for the extreme shock/vibration conditions typical of military applications, the DuraNET 20-10 is designed to meet MIL-STD-461F EMI/EMC and MIL-STD-810G thermal, shock, vibe, humidity, altitude, and ingress conditions.
Ideal for use in new platform designs or to refresh older technology in existing platforms, DuraNET 20-10 features no moving parts, a near cable-less internal design, industrial temperature grade components, EMI filtering, and isolated MIL-STD-1275/704 power supply that protects against vehicle/aircraft voltage surges, spikes and transients.
This new 20-port GbE Switch complements Curtiss-Wright’s Parvus DuraMAR 5915 router and Parvus DuraCOR 80-40 mission computer. If desired, the unit can be factory configured in multi-function combo-configurations, such as “computer + switch,” “router + switch,” or “computer + router + switch” configurations.
