WATERLOO, Ontario – Pixus Technologies in Waterloo, Ontario, is introducing the OpenVPX- and SOSA-aligned 10U RiCool embedded computing chassis for aerospace and defense applications.
The 10U RiCool embedded computing chassis supports single, dual, or N+1 redundant power suppliers that plug in from the rear of the enclosure.
The 10U RiCool embedded computing enclosure features a 6U OpenVPX or SOSA aligned backplane in up to 16 slots at 1-inch pitch and speeds to 100 Gigabit Ethernet. The enclosure is extra deep to enable rear pluggable power supplies.
This additional space also enables RF devices or other modules to fit within the rear of the chassis. The enclosure also supports a pluggable SOSA aligned chassis manager or a rear mezzanine approach that fits behind the backplane without taking up any slot space.
Each of the two reverse impeller blowers support 191 cubic feet per minute of airflow for powerful cooling in a front-to-rear airflow configuration.
The efficient and hot-swappable fans typically run more quietly than 59 decibels. Various I/O and power options are available, along with optical or RF interfaces through the backplane.
Pixus offers chassis in commercial grade and MIL rugged formats. The company also has options for other VITA and PICMG based standards such as VME, CompactPCI Serial, SpaceVPX, and xTCA.
