PIXUS TECHNOLOGIES Plug-in air slot blocker boards block the airflow in an otherwise empty OpenVPX slot. Devices come in 3U and 6U sizes in the 5HP (1.0”) width commonly used in the backplane architecture. Products help optimize airflow by forcing the available airflow to pass through utilized slots. Units fill spare slots that many applications utilize for future expansion. Products come in versions with and without injector/ejector handles that feature the firm’s popular rugged metal engagement ‘claw’. Units are also a convenient tool for prototyping/testing.
