Curtiss-Wright offers a number of products that provide high-speed, low latency communications.

FibreXtreme® Serial FPDP products provide up to 247Mb/sec data throughput, 99% bandwidth utilization, and the simplicity and reliability essential for many of today's demanding sensor-to-DSP applications. With FibreXtreme, data transfers occur without the CPU overhead and non-deterministic latencies associated with many layers of complex software protocols.

SCRAMNet® shared-memory products are optimized for the high-speed, ultra-low latency transfer of data among many computing platforms that are all solving portions of the same real-time problem. Its simplicity and speed are ideally suited for applications requiring a high degree of synchronization and control. The next-generation SCRAMNetGT product line can accommodate network control functions and network data streams seamlessly and simultaneously.

FX400 Fibre Channel products maximize the superior communication and interconnect capabilities of ANSI standard Fibre Channel. Combining the delivery and repeatability of a channel with the connectivity and protocol multiplexing of a network, Fibre Channel delivers the high-speed data transfers and interconnect versatility required in applications such as storage area networks, avionics databus and image processing systems.

Notes

1. FibreXtreme Serial FPDP products are available with copper or 800nm/1300nm/1550nm optical transceivers.
2. The CMC format provides a 32-bit parallel interface for conversion to Serial FPDP. FibreXtreme CMC cards can be mounted on companion VME or PCI carrier boards, or used with a custom carrier.
3.SCRAMNet+ is a ring topology shared memory network, available in copper, standard fiber (300M) or extended fiber (3000M) media. Reconfigurable networks can be constructed with use of the optional LinkXchange crossbar switch.
4. SCRAMNetGT is a ring topology shared memory network operating at 2.5Gbps, available in standard fiber (300M) or extended fiber (3000M) media. Reconfigurable networks can be constructed with use of the optional LinkXchange crossbar switch.
5. Available in -10°C to 70°C air-cooled configuration.
6. Available in -10°C to 70°C and -40°C to 85°C air-cooled configurations.
