CN6-ECHO

CompactPCI Dual Gigabit Ethernet Controller
Dual Channel Universal Host Adapter 10/100/1000Mb/s


Ethernet remains a megatrend for connecting systems in a heterogeneous environment. With the CN6-ECHO EKF introduces a dual Gigabit Ethernet networking interface controller (NIC) for CompactPCI® systems.

Attachment to the local network across the RJ45 jacks requires an ordinary CAT5/6 twisted-pair copper cable only, which is suitable for distances up to more than 100m. While providing the 1000Base-T standard for fastest data transfer rates, compatibility is maintained to 100Base-TX and even 10Base-T based hubs and switches.



Gigabit Ethernet has been designed to use existing cabling and equipment, hence simplifying the migration process. Integrating the 1000Mbps CN6-ECHO NIC into any CPCI system not only allows for remarkable higher data throughput, but also reduces the network load considerably due to shortened transfer times.

The CN6-ECHO is provided with a 32/64-bit CPCI interface, and can be operated at either 33MHz or 66MHz bus clock. While being compatible with all CPCI systems, the optimum performance will be achieved within a 64-bit/66MHz system.


CN6-ECHO - Dual Gigabit Ethernet NIC

CN6-ECHO

The design of the CN6-ECHO is based on a modern single-chip integrated dual MAC/PHY, thus minimizing the power consumption. The board is provided with a 128kx8 Flash EPROM, suitable for an extended BIOS (system boot from network).

The CN6-ECHO can be integrated smoothly into any existing networking environment. In order to profit from its Gigabit Ethernet capability, a Gigabit switch must be used accordingly for attachment. Existing facility cabling must provide strapping of all 8 pin positions of the RJ45 jack.



The CN6-ECHO is a 3U (single size) Eurocard. For 6U CPCI systems, a mounting kit (CR9-ADAPT) is available, which expands the front panel to 6U height.
