High-Reliability Ethernet Solutions

High-Reliability Ethernet Solutions for Aerospace and Defense Applications

Our high-reliability, extended-temperature, assembled plastic Ethernet solutions offer high-speed connectivity and operate consistently in the extreme environmental conditions of aerospace and defense applications. These solutions enable robust data transmission across a wide temperature range, from −55°C to +125°C, in extreme environments to support mission-critical network systems.

Our high-reliability Ethernet devices are built to withstand shock, vibration and humidity for dependable network connectivity in mission-critical systems. Manufactured in a single fab with dedicated wafer lots, they offer full traceability via Single-Lot Date Codes (SLDC). Our high-reliability memory solutions go through extensive qualification, such as Highly Accelerated Stress Test (HAST), life tests and temperature cycling, to offer you trusted, transparent performance.
