Techaya Ultra Compact 8 Port Military Gigabit Ethernet Switch, MILTECH918

The MILTECH 918 ultra-compact 10/100/1000 managed Gigabit Ethernet switch. With dimensions of 3.94” x 3.5” x 1.4”, the MILTECH 918 is slightly larger than a credit card and weighs only 0.86 lbs. The small form factor, advanced networking features and MIL-STD-1275 & 704 compliance make it ideal for UAV or tactical communications systems that need wire-speed forwarding rates for applications such as video and sensor data acquisition and transmission. 

Using less than 8W of power at 24VDC, the MILTECH 918 supports advanced networking features including:

• Spanning tree protocols to provide redundant, optimized paths when using multiple switches.
• VLAN tagging which allows logical separation of different network uses.
• QoS enforcement ensures that time-sensitive network traffic gets higher priority.
• Link Aggregation allows the traffic from multiple ports to be combined for higher bandwidth flows of information.
• Authentication ensures that only authorized devices may send traffic through the switch.

The MILTECH 918 features mechanical packaging enhancements designed for MIL-STD-810F/G/GM for airborne and ground environmental and EMI compliance (MIL-STD-461E) with high reliability. The unit has been especially hardened to improve ingress, impact, and shock/vibration protection. All moving parts have been eliminated and the unit uses passive cooling and sealed MIL-SCE circular connector interfaces. These devices are ideally suited for C4ISR and battlefield communications operations in harsh ground, aerial and marine environments.
