MilDef SSW Family rugged system switches support timing, synchronization and USB signal control in tactical systems. The family includes compact 19”/2® products for network time services, USB matrix switching and platform-level system integration in demanding defense environments

MilDef SSW2100 Series rugged USB matrix switch in compact 19”/2® form factor

Rugged system switches for tactical integration

MilDef rugged system switches help customers add timing and control functions to tactical IT systems. The SSW Family supports applications where network synchronization, USB routing and compact platform integration are important. In addition, the products help connect and coordinate system functions in vehicles, shelters, racks and deployed environments.

SSW500 Series provides rugged NTP time server capability for accurate network synchronization. As a result, customers can support NTP and SNTP-compatible systems with GPS or GNSS reference options, PPS and NMEA interfaces and rugged timing hardware. Meanwhile, SSW2100 Series provides USB matrix switching for systems that need flexible routing between USB inputs and outputs.

Together, the SSW Family supports system-level functions that sit between computing, network and operator equipment. Therefore, customers can integrate timing, synchronization and USB control without relying on less rugged commercial devices. The family supports tactical systems where compact form factor, passive cooling and long-term availability matter.
