2U Half Rugged Military Switches for Modern Battlefield Networking
7STARLAKE, a leading provider of rugged military computing solutions, announces the launch of its next-gen 2U half Ruggedized Military Switch Series—THOR200-P16, THOR200-PE8D, and THOR200-PE20. Engineered to meet the demands of complex military network infrastructures, these MIL-STD-810 switches deliver up to Layer 2+ managed capabilities, 10GbE fiber connectivity, and Power Over Ethernet (PoE) support. Designed for extreme conditions, they offer resilient, high-performance networking with advanced cybersecurity and uncompromising reliability.
Reliable High-Speed Networking for Defense Operations
In high-stakes military missions, uninterrupted video and data streaming is crucial. Featuring 8 to 20 Gigabit Ethernet ports, 7STARLAKE high-performance switches deliver high-bandwidth and low-latency transmission, essential for real-time operations such as battlefield surveillance, tactical communications, and command control. Engineered to operate under extreme conditions, these rugged switches meet strict MIL-STD-810 standards for shock, vibration, and extreme temperature, with a wide -40°C to 75°C operating range. The rugged design makes them ideal for deployment in mobile command centers, surveillance vehicles, and defense communication systems.
Power over Ethernet (PoE) for Simplified, Mission-Ready Deployment
In demanding battlefield environments, simplicity and speed are essential. The THOR200-PE8D and THOR200-PE20 feature eight PoE ports (30W each), enabling simultaneous power and data delivery over a single cable. This streamlines setup, reduces potential points of failure, and supports seamless integration of IP cameras, sensors, radios, and access points. This ensures real-time situational awareness and secure communications in rapidly changing environments.
Layer 2+ Managed Switching with Advanced Cybersecurity
The THOR200-P16 and THOR200-PE20 are built for advanced networking and cybersecurity in tactical deployments. They offer advanced Layer 2+ features including VLAN, QoS, IGMP snooping, static routing, and support for ITU-T G.8032 v1/v2 ERPS for Ethernet ring redundancy. With static and dynamic (LACP) link aggregation, these switches provide higher bandwidth, load balancing, and link reliability. Cybersecurity is further reinforced with customizable rule-based filtering, time-based access control, and deep packet inspection capabilities. The THOR200-P16 supports 128 static routes and 1,024 ARP entries, while the THOR200-PE20 meets IEC 62443-4-2 Level 3/4 standards for enhanced security in sensitive military networks.
10GbE EMI-Resistant Fiber Connectivity for Tactical Networks
Equipped with 4x 10GbE fiber Ethernet interfaces, the THOR200-P16 delivers high-performance fiber optic connectivity tailored for secure and EMI-resistant data transmission. Its advanced fiber architecture supports rapid, interference-free communication, ideal for tactical deployments. Engineered with SWaP optimization, the THOR200-P16 ensures uncompromised performance in rugged applications, making it an ideal solution for mobile command centers, defense vehicles, and field-deployed systems.
