New from electronics packaging specialist Schroff is a complete 4U, 9-slot subrack system based on the recently released
CompactPCI Serial specification. The system takes full advantage of the specification’s high-speed serial bus topology to deliver a data transfer rate of up to 32Gbit/s via PCIe, 10GbE, S-ATA, USB 2.0 or USB 3.0 interfaces.
Particularly suitable for applications in the process, industrial control, defence and transportation sectors, the new CompactPCI Serial system comprises a subrack, backplane, fan tray and power supply.
The shielded 19in. aluminium chassis is 4U high and has a depth of 275mm. Featuring a perforated top cover and base plate, it is supplied with front handles and a set of guide rails to enable it to be populated with 3U-high boards. The 9-slot backplane –providing one system slot and eight peripheral slots – conforms to PICMG CompactPCI-S.0 and can be specified with or without rear I/O.
