3U VPX backplane with RF connectors
17 August 2010
Elma Electronic UK has a new 3U VPX Backplane with connector for RF and analogue signals.
The use of RF interconnects is expected to be an important issue for many Mil/Aero applications where the VITA 46/65 specifications for VPX are highly targeted.
Elma’s VPX Backplane is designed to meet OpenVPX design considerations and work is underway on a VITA 67 specification for RF signals over VPX, and Elma plans to develop a version that will meet the specification when it is finalised.
The backplane features a 5-slot mesh routing configuration with the RF connectors in three slots. The 4-cavity RF connector is installed in the lower half of the standard J2 connector. This corresponds to rows 9-16 of slots 3, 4 and 5. The coax interconnects provides better signalling, higher data rates, less noise, and less crosstalk than discrete wire.
Elma UK also offers a selection of VPX and OpenVPX Backplanes in 3U and 6U heights.
