MilTech 9116 – Managed 16 port 10 Gb Switch/Router with 12 Copper Ports and 4 Fiber Ports

Applications such as video, LiDAR and sensors have created a demand for data speeds that have greater than readily available 1 Gigabit Ethernet networks. Mobile military platforms now require 10 Gb Ethernet network infrastructure  to meet these demands. While shorter-distance connections of devices, such as cameras, servers and other hardware can get maximum speeds out of copper connections, longer-distance runs will require fiber-optic connections to deliver 10 GbE speeds, end-to-end.

The MILTECH 10 Gb Ethernet switch which enables multiple gigabit ports into a single 10GbE connection in a non-blocking architecture.  The unique design of the MILTECH 9116 addressing the cost and roll-out constraints of 10 GbE in mobile military networks by supporting both 10 GbE copper ports for shorter-distanced connections and the option of 10 GbE fiber ports via tactical expanded beam connectors for longer-distances connections. The combination of inexpensive copper connections on 12 ports and TacBeam connectors on 2 or 4 ports make this one of the most cost-effective and easy-to-manage rugged 10 Gb Ethernet switch/routers on the market today.

The MILTECH 9116 supports Layer 2 and 3 network capabilities including VLANS, QoS, multicast routing (PIM) and dynamic routing (OSPF). Compact in size, it measures 16.8” x 8” x 2.8” and weighs just 8.8 lbs. Standard power input is 28Vdc (18-32V), 87W maximum and it is designed to meet MIL-STD-461, MIL-STD-810, MIL-STD-1275, MIL-STD-704, IP67 standards.
