SpaceVPX System Ethernet I/F Module (SEIM-PS)

Frontgrade’s SEIM-PS is a 3U SpaceVPX Ethernet Interface Module designed to plug into the RPS-9X-PS systems, providing up to 4-ports of 10BASE-T through 10GBASE-TX Ethernet connectivity to the system. 

The System Ethernet Interface Module (SEIM-PS) is a 3U SpaceVPX form factor companion building block available for integration in the RPS-9X-PS.  The SEIM supports 8-ports of 10Base-T through 10GBase-T ethernet connectivity on the front panel, which are interfaced to the SpaceVPX backplane for routing and connection to the RPM-PS to support high throughput data processing and communication.

In its standard configuration, the SEIM-PS boasts the following attributes:
