64-, 96-, or 128-Channel NTDS Universal Matrix Switch Expansion Card

The XPS-128 CPU Card creates an integrated fully non-blocking 64-, 96-, or 128-channel Naval Tactical Data System (NTDS) matrix switching network by connecting together two, three, or four XPS-32 switches. Each XPS-32 unit provides low-latency as well as a transparent, non-blocking interconnection between any pair of devices. By regenerating 100% of the incoming signal, the XPS-128 ensures maximum data integrity. The XPS-128 scalable switching system can expand to 64, 96, or 128 channels. The switches can be colocated or remotely located up to 14 km apart.

As part of X-COM’s line of Commercial-Off-The-Shelf (COTS) NTDS switching solutions, the switching network created by the XPS-128 CPU Card offers the highest number of channels in the smallest form factor available. The XPS-CPU Card allows NTDS networks to be rapidly reconfigured using a PC or Master Switch Controller. It is designed to cost-effectively meet the unique needs of today’s NTDS development, evaluation, and training environments.

Features:

  Two, three, or four XPS-32 switches can be connected using high-speed fiber optic links to create a fully non-blocking, low-latency switching network of 64, 96, or 128 channels
  
• Flexible
  Connect NTDS devices located in up to four different physical locations into a single network
  
• Extended Range
  NTDS devices and XPS switches can be co-located or remotely located up to 14 km apart
  
• Low-Latency
  Less than 500 ns ensures error-free and transparent communications
  
• Non-Blocking
  Simultaneous non-blocking full data rate operation on all channels
  
• Versatile
  Interconnect up to 128 NTDS Type A, B, C, D, E, H, MIL-STD-1553B, and OJ-451 devices
  
• Cost-Effective
  Two, three, or four XPS-32 switches can be connected using high-speed fiber optic links to create a fully non-blocking, low-latency switching network of 64, 96, or 128 channels
