Product features a 6U OpenVPX or SOSA aligned backplane in up to 16 slots at 1.0” pitch and speeds to 100GbE. The enclosure is extra deep to allow rear pluggable power supplies. This additional space also allows RF devices or other modules to fit within the rear of the chassis. Unit 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 CFM (cubic feet per minute) of airflow for a powerful cooling solution in a front-to-rear airflow configuration. The highly efficient and hot-swappable fans typically run under 59 db. Various I/O and power options are available, along with optical or RF interfaces through the backplane.
