Pixus Technologies, a provider of embedded computing and enclosure solutions, has released 3U versions of its low-cost open frame development platform for OpenVPX and other architecture backplane systems.
The VPXD0500 series accepts up to 8 slots of 3U OpenVPX backplanes in a 1.0” pitch. Other 3U backplanes such as CompactPCI or VME can also be utilized in the enclosure. Versions with VITA 66 for optional contacts and/or VITA 67 for RF contacts are available. A 600W or 1200W modular power supply for OpenVPX voltages is standard with VITA 62 or specialty options available. Other features include a convenient carry handle, fan speed control, and optional card guides for conduction-cooled boards.
Pixus offers development/test chassis in various architectures and sizes, including versions for 6U boards. The company also provides backplanes, board handles and faceplates, rackmount chassis platforms, and rugged/ATR enclosures.
