CL2-BRASS

Industrial 5/6-Port Switch with M12 Front Panel Circular Connectors


Available as 3U CompactPCI® peripheral board, the CL2-BRASS is a powerful Gigabit Ethernet switch. Its front panel is provided with five M12-style Gigabit Ethernet circular connectors. As an option, a sixth GbE channel is reserved for CompactPCI® communication. The CL2-BRASS is equipped with the Marvell® 88E6350R switch, which has a rich feature set, including latest 802.1 Audio Video Bridging (AVB) standards.


The CL2-BRASS may be operated either as stand-alone card, powered from a single +5V external supply, or as a CompactPCI® peripheral board. For communication with the CompactPCI® host CPU, a Gigabit Ethernet controller is internally connected to the switch. The CL2-BRASS is suitable for a broad range of applications, e.g. industrial communication and transportation.

CL2-BRASS • 5+1 Ports Gigabit Ethernet Switch with M12 Circular Connectors

As the heart of the CL2-BRASS, the Marvell® 88E6350R device is a single-chip non-blocking Gigabit Ethernet switch with five integrated Gigabit Ethernet transceivers supporting the latest IEEE802.1 Audio Video Bridging (AVB) standards. These new AVB standards overcome the latency and bandwidth limitations of Ethernet to allow for the efficient transmission of real-time audio and video over Ethernet for industrial or commercial applications.


The 88E6350R uses the AVB technologies to identify and reserve the network resources for AVB traffic streams and supports precise isochronous streaming capability for reliable and quality audio/video transmission over Ethernet for todays real-time, high definition information options. The AVB protocols enable timing sensitive multimedia streams to be sent over the Ethernet network with low latency and robust quality of Service.
