Chassis, Enclosures and Backplanes

3U VPX 1/2 ATR Chassis




1/2 ATR 3U VPX Enclosure & Backplane

The 1/2 ATR range supports conduction/convection cooling and is fitted with a 300W CPCI compatible conduction cooled PSU. It also features an ancillary module to add high energy transient suppression, TEMPEST filtering, extensive voltage hold-up and other custom functionality. AC and DC input variants are available.


Manufactured in the UK, these units are not subject to ITAR restrictions.

3U VPX 3 Slot Backplane





3 Slot 3U OpenVPX (VITA 65) Compatible Development Backplane

This is an example of a backplane which has been designed to operate at 6.25 Gbps and includes several custom IO Bus networks and specific IO Connectors. The backplane has a unique mounting structure to allow the backplane to be fitted into standard 19" 3U or 6U enclosures or in many air cooled or conduction / liquid cooled 1/2ATR enclosures.


Manufactured in the UK, these units are not subject to ITAR restrictions.
