TEWS technologies launches COTS conduction-cooled XMC card for enhanced Ethernet

The TXMC397 is an innovative addition to the company’s portfolio, offering high-speed Ethernet connectivity for a variety of demanding applications.

The TXMC397 is available in two variants:

• TXMC397-10R: The TXMC397-10R provides two 10GBase-T Ethernet interfaces via P16 Back I/O both mapped in the X12d range specified in VITA46.9 standard)
• TXMC397-20R: The TXMC397-20R provides two 10GBase-T Ethernet interfaces via P16 Back I/O both mapped in the X8d range specified in VITA46.9 standard)

“This new product exemplifies our commitment to innovation and quality for the most demanding environments with COTS products,” said Tim Tews, General Manager of TEWS Technologies. “The TXMC397 is designed to meet the requirements of high-speed data communication, providing our clients with unparalleled flexibility and performance in extreme conditions.”

This module supports a range of Ethernet standards and speeds, making it suitable for diverse applications including the COTS, industrial, and IoT markets. The TXMC397 provides dual-channel 10GBase-T Ethernet and supports multiple Ethernet speeds and standards including 100Base-TX, 1000Base-T, and NBase-T.

The TXMC397 features a robust design to ensure reliable and efficient operation. The product also boasts an impressive MTBF [Mean Time Between Failures], underscoring TEWS Technologies’ focus on durability and quality.

The TXMC397 supports Intel’s X710-AT2 10 Gigabit Ethernet controller and includes a 64 Mbit Serial Flash for PXE and iSCSI boot. Software support for the controller is available at Intel’s official website, and TEWS Technologies provides additional support for other operating systems.

The XMC-Connector P15 provides access to the Intel X710-AT2 dual port 10GbE controller via a x4 PCIe 3.0 link. Both Ethernet interfaces support 100 Mbit/s, 1000 Mbit/s as well as 2.5 Gbit/s, 5 Gbit/s, and 10 Gbit/s transmission rates. The XMC-Connector P16 supports rear I/O connectivity with VITA46.9 X12d or X8d mapping.

Tews’ latest module conforms to ANSI/VITA 42.0 standard, with a compact form factor of 143.75 mm x 74 mm and supports the Precision Time Protocol (PTP) per IEEE 1588/802.1AS standards.
