Lenovo Brainboxes PE415 Industrial Gigabit Ethernet Evaluation Kit

SKU CH-KCEN-WMQ8Q

Five-port industrial Gigabit Ethernet switch with evaluation board, header cables and USB power for prototype testing

  • Industrial-grade 5-port Gigabit switching for rugged environments
  • Evaluation board exposes every port and header for rapid prototyping
  • Five IDC-to-RJ45 cables included for immediate bench testing
  • USB power cable supplied for flexible lab or field power
  • Pure Embedded PE-515 switch core validated for industrial reliability

Industrial Gigabit Ethernet Evaluation Kit

The Lenovo Brainboxes PE415 is a development platform built around a five-port industrial Gigabit Ethernet switch for engineers who need to validate embedded network designs before final board integration. It provides physical access to every port and header so firmware and hardware behaviour can be tested in a lab environment.

Practical limits of the five-port Gigabit interface

The switch operates at standard Gigabit Ethernet line rates across its five ports without additional protocol offload or management features described in the supplied data. Bandwidth is shared across the ports, so aggregate throughput cannot exceed the fabric capacity of the underlying PE-515 device when all links are active simultaneously.

Build quality and daily connector implications

The kit includes IDC-header-to-RJ45 cables and a USB power cable, allowing quick bench connection without soldering. Header breakout exposes all signals for oscilloscope or logic-analyser access, while the RJ45 ends fit standard patch panels for temporary network integration during prototype debugging.

Questions about this item

Which model suits a five-port industrial evaluation — the PE415 or the PE515?

The kit centres on the PE515 five-port industrial Gigabit switch; PE415 is the evaluation kit reference that includes the switch, breakout board, IDC-to-RJ45 cables and USB power lead.

What throughput does the five-port switch deliver in a live setup?

Each of the five ports runs at Gigabit line rate, so the switch can move up to five Gbps of aggregate traffic when all ports are active.

How does the USB power input limit the kit’s deployment?

The board draws power from the supplied USB cable, so the switch operates wherever a USB host or charger can provide sufficient current for the five-port device.
