OpenVPX chassis platform supports standard OpenVPX and SpaceVPX boards

June 23, 2020 By Lee Teschler Leave a Comment

6U Open Frame

A new OpenVPX chassis platform supports both 160-mm-deep (standard OpenVPX) and 220-mm-deep (SpaceVPX) boards. The open-frame chassis features up to four slots at 1.0-in. pitch of each board depth type. The modular enclosure allows various board pitches to be utilized at 0.2-in. increments. Card guides to support both air-cooled boards and conduction-cooled boards are standard. […]

Rugged rackmount Chassis handles longer OpenVPX modules

April 9, 2020 By Lee Teschler Leave a Comment

Rackmount_OpenVPX_9U_deep 2

MIL-rugged rackmount enclosures support deeper modules than the standard 160-mm depth of OpenVPX. Many designers utilize OpenVPX or its general mechanicals for their designs. Combining advanced RF or other device capability into the standard sized modules for the VITA 46/48 architecture is not always practical. To support this trend, Pixus has developed both 19-in commercial […]
