Mezzanine card adds Gigabit Ethernet to ATCA

The Telum GE-QT is an AdvancedMC Gigabit Ethernet network interface card.

New from SBS Technologies, the Telum GE-QT is an AdvancedMC Gigabit Ethernet network interface card.

The single-width full-height Telum GE-QT is compliant with PICMG's AMC.1 specification for AdvancedMC.

The Telum GE-QT is a four-port Gigabit Ethernet AdvancedMC card providing high bandwidth and high port density.

It is ideal for adding Ethernet capability to AdvancedTCA telecommunication platforms and other platforms with AdvancedMC slots that require additional Ethernet links.

This single-width full-height AdvancedMC form factor card offers greater design flexibility and maximises port density on the carrier card or host board.

"The Telum GE-QT AdvancedMC Ethernet card will allow system developers to take advantage of Gigabit Ethernet performance when adding network connectivity to their AdvancedTCA and AdvancedMC systems", said Bill Molyneux, Vice President and General Manager of SBS General Purpose I/O Products.

"This card is a perfect choice as the Ethernet network component for the SBS AMC-7S-Chassis AdvancedMC rack-mount system".

The card uses a x4 PCI Express bus as the databus and conforms to the AMC.1 specification.

To reduce host CPU utilisation, the AdvancedMC Ethernet controller supports TCP CRC and segmentation offloading.

The Ethernet network interface complies with IEEE802.3 specification and supports 10BaseT, 100BaseTX and 1000BaseT modes over CAT5 or better twisted pair cable.

Each Ethernet port on the Telum GE-QT features auto-negotiation and automatic MDI/MDIX switchover enabling greater compatibility with existing devices and infrastructure.

Both full and half-duplex modes are supported.

Telum GE-QT implements an IPMI controller as defined in the AdvancedMC standard.

This controller provides access to an onboard temperature sensor enabling voltage level and advanced thermal monitoring.
