SabreNet-12000-200 Overview
Vehicle and aircraft power buses carry surges, spikes and dropouts that a filtered supply alone may not ride through, so some programmes call for full isolation between the power input and the electronics. The SabreNet-12000-200 is the MIL-grade power build in the Diamond Systems SabreNet-12000 series: a complete rugged Ethernet switch that Diamond builds around its EPS-12000 board-level switch, with an isolated power supply and no PTP timing.
It carries 12 10/100/1000Base-T copper Ethernet ports, arranged in groups of four and eight on two MIL-DTL-38999 connectors, so every link enters the case through a sealed circular connector rather than an RJ-45 socket. Diamond’s embedded IStaX Layer 3 routing and switching software runs on the switch, and you manage it through a web interface on any of the ports or through a local RS-232 port on the four-port connector. Diamond can also customise the software branding and the connector arrangement.
The Layer 3 software routes between subnets as well as switching within them, which helps where a network is split into segments for sensors, mission computers and communications. Inside, Diamond’s EPS-12000 pairs an EPSM-10GX switch module with a carrier board that holds the magnetics and the power circuits. The SabreNet-12000-220 adds IEEE-1588 PTP to this build, and the SabreNet-12000-100 uses a MIL-STD-461 filter in a shorter case. Our guide to Layer 2 and Layer 3 switches explains when routing inside the switch helps.
The power supply is based on Diamond’s JMM-7500 and provides compliance with MIL-STD-461, MIL-STD-704 and MIL-STD-1275, with 500 V isolation between input and output. This build uses the taller of the two enclosures. The case has an IP67 design and the switch operates from -40 to +85 °C. Diamond publishes a shock and vibration test report for the SabreNet-12000, and a lab bench-grade external cable kit lets you run it on the bench.

Official Diamond Systems UK Distributor
Things Embedded is an official Diamond Systems UK distributor, supplying the SabreNet-12000-200 for UK defence and vehicle programmes. Within the Diamond range the EPS-12000-CM offers the same switch core as a board for your own enclosure, and the RAPTOR-EPSILON is a smaller eight-port sealed switch.
The SabreNet-12000-200 sits among our rugged Ethernet switches and our full range of network switches for harsh settings. Where a sealed 12-port network runs from a vehicle or aircraft bus and needs an isolated supply, this is the build to specify.
