BotBlox’s module provides 8 Gbps Ethernet and three 10G Ethernet ports in a tiny 1.65-inch square form factor

Image of BotBlox's UbiSwitch Module Ethernet SwitchBotBlox's UbiSwitch module is a compact, modular, high port-count Ethernet switch designed for use in automotive and aerospace applications. UbiSwitch is designed specifically for use in harsh environments with specific tolerance to pressure, vibration, altitude, humidity, and temperature. This switch aims to be a standard modular component that system integrators can use to easily add Ethernet connectivity to their systems, without adding significant size or weight.

UbiSwitch provides 8 Gbps Ethernet PHY ports and three 10 Gbps MAC ports on a stackable modular header so that a system integrator can design a daughterboard with a specific combination of connectors. The 10 Gbps MAC ports also allow the integration of optical SFP modules on the daughterboard.
