| Curtiss-Wright Controls Defense Solutions announces new COOL-CC6 6U VPX High Power Conduction-cooled Portable Tower Enclosure |
ASHBURN, VA – Curtiss-Wright Controls Defense Solutions (CWCDS), a business group of Curtiss-Wright Controls, has introduced the COOL-CC6, a new 6-slot high power chassis designed to ease the design of 6U OpenVPX systems. The newest member of CWCDS’ Engineered Packaging (EP) group’s renowned Hybricon™ family of chassis, this forced air, conduction-cooled enclosure supports up to 6-slots of 6U 1″ pitch conduction cooled payload OpenVPX cards and rear transition modules (RTMs). Designed to satisfy the most extreme cooling requirements, the portable COOL-CC6 chassis meets stringent ANSI/VITA 65 power and cooling requirements for conduction-cooled 150W 6U OpenVPX modules.
The new COOL-CC6 (and its 3U variant, the COOL-CC3) complement CWCDS’s air-cooled COOL-XC3 and COOL-XC6 development chassis, providing portable development chassis alternatives for higher power conduction-cooled module-based systems. The COOL-CC6 is designed to speed and ease the integration and development of OpenVPX, VPX REDI and VPX systems and supports the latest ANSI/VITA 46.0, ANSI/VITA 46.10, ANSI/VITA 48.0, ANSI/VITA 48.2 and ANSI/ VITA 65 OpenVPX specifications.
“Our customers who are doing small slot count, conduction-cooled system development chassis want a cost effective portable OpenVPX compliant development chassis to help them get their design up and running quickly,” said Lynn Bamford, senior vice president and general manager of Curtiss-Wright Controls Defense Solutions group. “Our new 3U and 6U COOL-CC family of development chassis delivers the portability, affordability and flexibility these system integrators require.”
