DuraNET 2955 Curtiss-Wright Ruggedized Cisco Catalyst Ethernet Switch

The Curtiss-Wright / Parvus DuraNET 2955 Ruggedized Cisco Catalyst Ethernet Switch is a ruggedized version of the Cisco 2955T-12 Ethernet switch, a fully managed industrial-grade network switch offering 12 Fast Ethernet ports, 2 Gigabit Ethernet uplinks, and Cisco IOS software functionality for traditional data, video and voice services with enhanced intelligent services features for additional security, advanced Quality of Service (QoS), high availability, and manageability. Administrators can easily configure features, monitor performance, and troubleshoot using a standard Web browser. Developed for military and harsh mobile applications, the Commercial-off-the-Shelf (COTS) DuraNET 2955 features mechanical packaging enhancements designed for MIL-STD-810 airborne environmental compliance and high reliability, as well as MIL-STD-461 EMI/EMC conditions. The unit has been specially hardened to improve ingress, impact, and shock/vibration protection, as well as eliminate all moving parts through passive cooling, and interface through sealed MIL-C-38999 circular connectors. Leveraging best-in-class switching and management technology from Cisco, the DuraNET 2955 serves as a robust COTS solution for providing local area network (LAN) connectivity to IP-enabled computing and net-centric devices. Compact in size, the DuraNET 2955 is particularly useful for expanding port density to tactical IP routers, such as the DuraMAR, in space-constrained airborne and ground vehicle environments.
