Rear-pluggable PSU’s 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 four times 25G speeds of 100GbE and the capability of the high-performance RT3 VPX connector.
As such, a special high-speed connector was utilised for the 28G+ signals. The backplane also required VITA 66.5 and VITA 67.x interfaces for optical and RF through the printed circuit board.
Pixus offers high-performance OpenVPX and other open standard architecture backplanes, chassis platforms, and specialty products. The company also provides customisable faceplates, ejector handles, card guides, and other components.
