WATERLOO, Ontario – Pixus Technologies in Waterloo, Ontario, is introducing the 9U RiCool embedded computing chassis for 6U OpenVPX boards for aerospace and defense applications.
The 9U RiCool chassis features dual hot-swappable 191-cubic-feet-per-minute fans for cooling as much as 2500 Watts. The design enables use of Rear Transition Modules (RTMs) in all slots.
The customized OpenVPX backplane and chassis embedded computing design offers rear-pluggable power supplies to provide power for the VPX and custom rails, available in various Wattage and output options.
The 14-slot design required routing for 28G+ signals across the backplane. This is in excess of the 4 x 25G speeds of 100 Gigabit Ethernet and the capability of the high-performance RT3 VPX connector.
As such, a special high-speed connector in the chassis works with 28G+ signals. The backplane also required VITA 66.5 and VITA 67.x interfaces for optical and RF through the printed circuit board.
