Avalue EPM-1608 Ethernet controller

Avalue Technology Inc. has launched the EPM-1608 Ethernet controller. Designed to meet the demands of industrial automation and IoT applications, the Ethernet controller provides a solution for high-speed data transmission, stability and longevity.

The Ethernet controller leverages the power of the Intel i226 Ethernet controller to provide dual LAN ports with support for 2.5GbE. This enables a high-bandwidth connection that delivers fast data rates and near-instantaneous response times. With a range of safety features, including IEC 62368-1 2 kV HiPOT protection, EN61000-4-2 (ESD) Air-15 kV, Contact-8 kV Level 2 ±4 kV and EN61000-4-5 2 kV surge protection, this module is designed to withstand 24/7 industrial operation and protect against unforeseen circumstances. The Ethernet controller also enables customers to meet the demands of applications that require performance.

The Ethernet controller offers upgrades and deployments with support for 2.5GbE and higher bandwidth, enabling organisations to take advantage of the latest network features without the need for redeployments. With added features like Wake On LAN and 2 kV isolation, it offers user-friendliness and integration into existing systems.
