Curtiss Wright VPX3-652-C21020 Ethernet Switch

The VPX3-652 is a 3U OpenVPX Layer-2 managed Gigabit Ethernet switch for rugged/embedded systems.

The “C21020” suffix indicates a conduction-cooled variant (vs air-cooled) and a specific ruggedization / configuration level (L200 / L300) in the Curtiss-Wright product line.

It supports up to 20 Ethernet ports (combinations of 1000Base-T and 1000Base-X SerDes) to the backplane, with a feature-rich switching capability (VLANs, QoS, link aggregation, PTP, etc.).

Power usage is relatively low (less than ~15 W typical) in its class.
