The Spectra Advantage

Why defense programs choose Spectra for mission-critical data distribution and routing.

Every speed, one architecture

From Gigabit Ethernet to 40GbE and fiber optic channels at 25Gbps — Spectra I/O cards and switching products cover the full bandwidth spectrum on a single platform architecture.

  • 1GbE through 40GbE Ethernet
  • Fiber optic up to 25Gbps/channel
  • sFPDP up to 10.3125Gbps/link

Secure operator control

EAL4-certified KVM switches enforce strict red/black data separation, while fiber optic extenders place operators up to 400m from source equipment — without latency or security compromise.

  • NAIP EAL4-certified KVM switches
  • Fiber optic extension to 400m
  • DVI, USB and audio management

Drop-in board-level integration

XMC-format I/O cards fit directly into VPX, VME and CPCI single-board computers — available in both air-cooled and conduction-cooled variants with front panel or P16 rear I/O routing.

  • VPX, VME, CPCI compatible
  • Air-cooled and conduction-cooled
  • Front panel or P16 rear I/O
