Introduction 

Description 

The MPEe-E6E module is an extremely small and rugged Gigabit Ethernet add-on 
interface with available POE+ support. This standard sized Mini PCIe module does not 
require a daughter card for magnetic isolation or POE injection circuitry. It provides a 
simple way to add an Ethernet interface to most embedded computer systems. MPEe-
E6E features include: 

  Gigabit Ethernet with Power over Ethernet 

  On-board magnetically coupled isolation and POE injection 

  IEEE 1588/802.1AS Precision Time Synchronization 

The MPEe-E6E includes a version (MPEe-E6E-P) supporting Power over Ethernet 
Support (POE+). This ensures that a wide variety of devices, including cameras and 
wireless access points, can be powered over the Ethernet connection. 

The MPEe-E6E also includes IEEE 1588/802.1AS Precision Time Protocol support.  
This enables time-synchronization between network nodes. 

The MPEe-E6E is designed and tested for full industrial temperature (-40º to +85ºC) 
operation and meets MIL-STD-202H specifications for shock and vibration. It uses a 
latching connector to address cable detachment failures. 

MPEe-E6E modules receive 100% functional testing and are backed by a limited five-
year warranty. Careful parts sourcing and US-based technical support ensure the 
highest possible quality, reliability, service and product longevity for this exceptional 
product.
