MEN G211X Ethernet interface card

The G211X Ethernet interface card, from MEN Mikro Elektronik, is a quad Ethernet card based on the PICMG CPCI-S.0 CompactPCI Serial. The four Gigabit Ethernet interfaces on the front panel are accessible via robust, X-coded M12 connectors.

All four interfaces are controlled by an Ethernet controller connected to the backplane via an x4 PCI Express connection. Each interface also supports a data transmission rate of 1 Gbps, even if all four channels are used simultaneously. For better control, two LEDs each indicate the connection and activity status of the interfaces.

The product includes an Intel i82580 Server chipset, with support for eight virtual machines, and features 500 V isolation voltage. It is designed for an extended operating temperature of -40 to +85°C and suitable for use in harsh and mobile environments.
