Customizable, modular 6-slot 3U VPX chassis targets development applications

LCR Embedded Systems announced the availability of its flexible, modular, highly customizable 6-Slot VPX development chassis for 3U VPX conduction-cooled cards. The enclosure is 5U in height and suitable for benchtop or rackmount use, with 6 slots (5 payload and 1 switch), and two 2-slot PICMG 2.11 power supplies, and can cool up to 70W/slot with front-to-back forced-air cooling.

The OpenVPX enclosure can feature either a 3U VITA 48.1 or IEEE 1101.10 card cage with a variety of backplane profiles and other customization options available upon request.

“What with the experience we offer our customers in all form factors, applications, and deployment environments, LCR Embedded Systems is at our best when we get in on the ground floor of any application — while things are still in the development and prototyping stage,” said LCR Embedded President Dan Manoukian. “With hundreds of fielded and proven systems hard at work all over the world, we can offer customers the most advanced development platforms as well as the most advanced design and manufacturing capabilities when the time comes to move from the lab to the final deployment environment, however harsh it may be.”
