FACE-module – FM-4LAN (4x GbE)

FM-4LAN (FM-LANE4U2/4) – FACE Module with 4x Gigabit LAN and 4x USB 2.0 Ports

The FM-4LAN (FM-LANE4U2/4) is a high-performance FACE module designed to extend networking and USB capabilities in embedded systems and industrial computers. Featuring four Gigabit Ethernet ports (10/100/1000BASE-T) compliant with IEEE 802.3/u/ab standards, it provides robust network expansion for edge servers, IoT gateways, and compact industrial PCs.

In addition to network expansion, this module includes four USB 2.0 downstream ports supporting up to 480 Mbps, making it ideal for peripherals, data acquisition, and industrial control.

Powered by the Intel 82574L Ethernet Controller, the FM-4LAN supports advanced features like VLAN tagging, TCP segmentation offloading, IPv4/IPv6 checksum offload, Auto MDI/MDI-X, and remote management (NC-SI). It is also equipped with SPI NOR Flash and a differential clock driver for reliable PCIe operation.

Key Features:

• 4x Gigabit Ethernet ports (RJ-45), 10/100/1000 Mbps, IEEE 802.3/u/ab compliant
• 4x USB 2.0 downstream ports, up to 480 Mbps (half-duplex)
• Intel 82574L Ethernet Controller with advanced offloading and filtering support
• VLAN, Flow Control, Magic Packet Wake, and remote manageability
• Compatible with select FACE-module-enabled systems (refer to compatibility matrix)
• Ideal for network appliances, embedded servers, and industrial automation
