The Curtiss-Wright/Systran VLX2500 is a VME crossbar switch module that delivers non-blocking, high-bandwidth interconnectivity for demanding VMEbus systems. Conformal coating protects against moisture, dust, chemicals, and temperature extremes, making it suitable for rugged and environmentally challenging deployment. The module enables direct, simultaneous communication paths between multiple VME devices without contention, minimizing signal propagation delay for real-time processing and system scalability.
