VPX3-683 FireBlade

Enabling the vision of inter-networked heterogeneous military and aerospace systems in the Global Information Grid (GIG), CWCEC's VPX6-683 FireBlade provides Systems Integrators with a fast, secure and unified approach to interconnect subsystems, chassis, cards, and compute nodes within any given platform using 1 and 10 Gigabit Ethernet links.

Providing up to 24 wirespeed 1000 Mbps interfaces and up to 2 x 10Gbps interfaces in a single 3U VPX slot, the 683 is ideal for architecting system-wide Intra-Platform Networks (IPNs).

The VPX3-683 comes with a powerful set of management interfaces and complete layer 2/3 software with dual IPv4/v6 support for building secure, high performance networks.
