Product Information

The Technobox, Inc. P/N 9096 Quad 10/100/1000 XMC provides four Intel i210 (WGI210ITSLJXT) Ethernet ports operating with BASE-T transformer-coupled interfaces.

Each i210 controller is connected to a PCI Express switch providing 4 lanes of GEN 2 capable connections to the host. Each controller is serviced by a 1-lane GEN 1 PCIe connection, providing ample bandwidth for operation at 1-Gb/s Ethernet speeds.

Each i210 controller is programmed with a unique 48-bit MAC address. Two standard build variations are available.

The air-cooled XMC (P/N 9096) has four RJ45 ports available at the front panel. The VITA 20 conduction-cooled version (P/N 9100) has four ports of transformercoupled rear I/O available at P16, and no front panel. Additional variants, including those populated with VITA 61 and VITA 88 connectors, can be built. Contact Technobox for part numbers.

For the air-cooled 9096, four LEDs – one for each port – are available at the front panel. These show port link status and communication activity. LEDs are populated on the body of the board for the conduction-cooled P/N 9100. A key feature of both designs is magnetic coupling. For P/N 9096, there is 1500V of isolation barrier and also common mode rejection for the front panel RJ45s. Note that for P/N 9100, however, isolation depends heavily on the clearance geometry of the carrier card signal path.

Standard operating systems, such as Linux and Windows, are supported.

These products are built exclusively with industrial temperature range components and are RoHS compliant. Only +3.3V power is required from the XMC P15 connector.
