Electronic components and circuits are sensitive to
ElectroStatic Discharge (ESD). When handling any circuit
board assemblies including Connect Tech COM Express
carrier assemblies, it is recommended that ESD safety
precautions be observed. ESD safe best practices include, but
are not limited to:
Leaving circuit boards in their antistatic packaging
until they are ready to be installed.
Using a grounded wrist strap when handling circuit
boards, at a minimum you should touch a grounded
metal object to dissipate any static charge that may be
present on you.
Only handling circuit boards in ESD safe areas, which
may include ESD floor and table mats, wrist strap
stations and ESD safe lab coats.
Avoiding handling circuit boards in carpeted areas.
Try to handle the board by the edges, avoiding contact
capabilities in an extremely small embedded form factor.
Excellent for high-end applications such as Mobile and Microwave backhaul, the Xtreme/GbE Managed
Carrier Ethernet Switch is also a highly reliable way to communicate with 10/100/1000 devices in an
embedded system. Powered by the latest generation Carrier Ethernet Switch engine, the Vitesse VSC7428.
Its embedded 416 MHz MIPS 32-bit CPU, 1Gb DDR2 external memory and DMA-based frame extraction
and insertion supports timing over packet, Ethernet OAM, and performance monitoring.
Available in models with RJ-45 or Rugged Positive Locking Headers, which makes this embedded Ethernet
switch ideal for any type of environment.
