Versatile backplane/chassis configurations are geared for 3U and 6U OpenVPX and SOSA development. The versatile development enclosures start with a line of single-slot power and ground backplanes in various 3U and 6U configurations. This includes VITA 65 (standard VPX), VITA 66.4 (VPX with optical), and VITA 67.3 types (VPX with RF). The backplanes can be […]

3U and 6U OpenVPX power and ground backplanes speed prototyping
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 […]
