Alignment and stability for a 19” rack enclosure is provided by rear blind-mate bushings. Alongside slots for up to 6 AMCs, the chassis features an integrated MCH with IEEE1588/SyncE/GPS capabilities such as disciplining with arbitrary clock frequency output and holdover (Stratum-3 option), including 1 PPS regeneration and holdover. The MCH can use various fabrics, including 40GbE/10GbE, PCIe Gen 3, or Serial RapidIO.
Using a 500W universal AC power supply or a 400W DC power supply, the VT950 provides front-to-rear cooling. The chassis is also optionally available with a JTAG Switch Module, which features a Virtual JTAG probe. Both MicroTCA.0 and MicroTCA.1 modules can be plugged into the chassis using front panel retention screws. The chassis is designed to meet MIL-STD-901D and 810G for shock and vibration and MIL-STD-461F for EMI.
