CARBON100
Bold. Compact. 100Gbps & Ready.
100 Gbps · 90 TB
100GbE capture in a ½ ATR Short airborne form factor — removable encrypted NVMe to 90 TB, optional 12–48 VDC power, and in-line FPGA filtering for bays where a rack won't fit.
The CARBON100, Purpose-Built for the Mission
CARBON100 is a compact ½ ATR-style Ethernet capture, record and replay system for 10GbE to 100GbE links, at platform speeds of 10, 25, 40 or 100 Gbps.
It runs on 120/240 VAC at 280 W or on optional 12 to 48 VDC, operates from 0 °C to 45 °C, and has ½ ATR Short compliant mounting holes. Capture and replay ports take SFP+ 10GbE, SFP28 25GbE, QSFP+ 40GbE and QSFP28 100GbE links, with 1 ns hardware timestamping and optional PPS, IEEE 1588 PTP and SyncE synchronization. Removable enterprise NVMe storage scales from 9 TB to 90 TB, with optional TCG® Opal SSC encryption-ready drives, and optional in-line FPGA processing filters, merges, slices and retransmits traffic while capturing.
