Cubro Packetmaster EX2 Desktop Packet Broker 1G and 10GE

The Cubro Packetmaster EX2 is a desktop network packet broker based on a newly designed ASIC, which has been added to the existing EX platform.

The device supports 4 x 10/100/1000 Mbit and 2 x 1/10 Gbit ports (SFP, SFP+). It offers four RJ45 ports and each of the 10G ports can be loaded with an SFP+ or SFP, which can be single- or multi-mode, and can have an output and/or an input functionality. Support for IPv4 and IPv6 is also included.

The product features filtering up to Layer 4, up to 2000 filter rules and simple configuration via WEB-GUI, ssh or CLI. With up to 28 Gbit performance, the device also features scripting using Python.

The product has optional optical splitters on the back for non-intrusive monitoring (SM/MM) and a redundant power supply design. It weighs 1.4 kg and, with its fanless design, has little to no noise emissions and low heat dissipation.

Applications include: aggregation; filtering (MAC, VLAN, IP, TCP/UDP Port); media and speed-conversion; testing SFP/SPF+; loopback for Layers 1-3.
