3U and 6U OpenVPX power and ground backplanes come in several configurations. With the SOSA/HOST efforts and move to optical and RF interfaces over OpenVPX, Pixus has developed multiple styles that allow for versatility in prototyping. The 1-slot backplanes come in VITA 65 (VPX only), VITA 66.4 (optical), and VITA 67.3 (RF) formats. The optical […]
OpenVPX chassis platform supports standard OpenVPX and SpaceVPX boards
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. […]
New horizontal-mount OpenVPX chassis platform handles 3U, 6U, or hybrid versions
The first in the 1U SlimBox OpenVPX series is a three-slot version for 3U boards. A modular fixed power supply provides up to 600 W of power and one Rear Transition Module (RTM) is supported. A hybrid configuration option is available with 1x 6U slot and 1x 3U slot. In lieu of the fixed-mount power […]
Rugged rackmount Chassis handles longer OpenVPX modules
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 […]
