XMC NETWORKING MODULE · SKU 90015305
XPort3308
The XPort3308 is a conduction-cooled 100 Gigabit Ethernet XMC module with up to four ports allocated between front and rear panel I/O. A x8 PCI Express Gen4-capable interface is routed per VITA 42.3 to the P15 connector for interfacing with the host module.
Product Lifecycle
X-ES also offers comprehensive configuration and obsolescence management services, providing customers with direct control over non-interchangeable changes and extending product availability and serviceability well beyond standard end-of-life milestones.
Engineered for Extended Reliability
All X-ES products are designed and manufactured 100% in the USA with components from trusted supply chains in order to deliver rugged, reliable performance in the most demanding environments.
Built with components rated for extreme conditions and validated through rigorous testing, our solutions minimize obsolescence risk and lower total cost of ownership across the full program lifespan.
Introduction to XPort3308
The XPort3308 is a conduction-cooled 100 Gigabit Ethernet XMC module with up to four ports allocated between front and rear panel I/O.
Host Interface
A x8 PCI Express Gen4-capable interface is routed per VITA 42.3 to the P15 connector for interfacing with the host module.
Optical Transceiver
Front panel I/O for the 25 Gigabit Ethernet ports is provided with an optional integrated rugged 25GBASE-SR optical transceiver. This is a vastly superior alternative to attempting to use large, commercial SFP+ and optical modules for conduction-cooled, rugged, and extreme-temperature environments.
The XPort3308’s optical LC connectors can support the same optical cables as standard SFP+ modules (slightly modified).
Optical Cable Routing
The optical transceiver on the XPort3308 is positioned so that the optical cable can be run out of the front or bottom side of the module.
Front Panel Access Flexibility
This enables an optical 25 Gigabit Ethernet connection even when front panel access to the module is not provided by the host module (as is common on VITA 20-compliant carriers) or the system, potentially preventing costly rework to the host card or chassis.
Rear I/O Protocols
The XPort3308 is configured to support BASE-KR and BASE-KR4 protocols for rear I/O by default. Additional protocols can be supported as a build configuration, including 100GBASE-KR4, 100GBASE-CR4, 50GBASE-KR2, 50GBASE-CR2, 25GBASE-KR, 25GBASE-CR, 40GBASE-KR4, 40GBASE-CR4, 10GBASE-KR, and 10GBASE-CR.
