Embedded Gold Ready-for-Use Industrial PCB Assembly

GL100 • M12-X Gigabit Ethernet Switch


The GL100 is a five port Gigabit Ethernet switch board designed for rugged industrial applications. The self-managed solution is provided with four M12-X Ethernet connectors and one RJ45 jack. Up to three GL100 boards can be stacked for switch expansion to 15 ports.
The GL100 has a wide-range 9-57VDC power input, via either an M12-A style or terminal block power connector.

The GL100 is based on the Marvell® 88E6390 Ethernet switch. Supported speeds on the M12-X and RJ45 ports are 1000BASE-T, 100BASE-TX and 10BASE-T.

As GL110, the board is also available with a mezzanine CPU card (GC370) for additional protocol support such as AVB/TSN, and Wi-Fi wireless communication.
