Both of the chassis can accept 0.8, 0.85 and 1.0” pitch modules and are well suited for commercial deployment. Each chassis has a single universal AC input power supply to provide 800W or a single -48V DC 650W PSU and supplies 95W/slot.
The VTX880 and VTX881 are designed to meet the ANSI/VITA 65 standard. They provide right to left push/pull cooling (18 CFM per payload slot at 0.24 in-H2O @ 5000 feet) to the VPX payload and RTM slots. The chassis have a removable Air Filter at the front.
The VTX880 backplane provides five 3U VPX payload slots in a star configuration, fully compliant to VITA 46.0 baseline specification, plus additional support to the RTMs, compliant to VITA 46.10 and OpenVPX VITA 65. Each chassis also has an optional JTAG Switch Module to provide JTAG access to the rear.
