Curtiss-Wright is first to successfully develop ability to meet Gen 4 PCIe with standard VPX connectors, extending the reach of OpenVPX™ to new performance heights

EMBEDDED TECH TRENDS, NEW ORLEANS, La. – January 24, 2017 — Curtiss-Wright’s Defense Solutions division, the world’s leading supplier of open standard VPX (VITA 46) systems for aerospace and defense applications today announced that it has successfully developed the ability to meet the increased bandwidth requirements of Gen 4 PCI Express (PCIe) with standard MultiGig RT2 VPX connectors. This milestone, which uses a new optimized design approach, extends the ability of the VPX and OpenVPX (VITA 65) standards to support the full bandwidth and signal integrity required when transferring 16 Gbaud PCIe 4.0 data communications signals over the backplane. Curtiss-Wright has successfully proven the performance and signal integrity for Gen 4 PCIe over VPX using this new design approach. What’s more, the new design approach also provides a technology path to support “Gen 5” speeds in the future.

Curtiss-Wright plans to support Gen 4 PCIe using standard VPX connectors on its Fabric64™ family of modules and systems.
