WILDSTAR 100GbE 6E10 6U OpenVPX Switch – WP6E10

WILDSTAR 100GbE 6E10 6U OpenVPX Switch is a rugged 6U board that provides switching between backplane slots of multiple channels of 100Gb Ethernet. It also has front panel I/O which can be used to connect the system to external data sources.

This high-performance Switch is readily integrated into a vendor-neutral 6U VPX system, or deployed within Annapolis' proven WILD100 EcoSystem for 6U OpenVPX.
