SWITCHCORE

Cores provide ethernet networking functionality in a stackable, modular form factor. This allows connectivity to be added to a baseboard to create product ready network switching, with minimal extra work.

With rugged stacking connectors and minimal footprints, BotBlox Cores mount directly onto your PCB layout for true connector flexibility, or onto our pre-designed baseboards. This provides ultra compact ethernet switching and sophisticated network management software as an embeddable module.

With NDAA section 889 qualified options, and MIL-STD-810H environmental performance, cores deliver the same reliability BotBlox products are known for, in an embeddable, modular design.
