6U OpenVPX Backplanes

6U OpenVPX Backplanes support VITA 66 and 67 optical and RF apertures for connectivity including VITA 67.3 RF/Optical modules. These backplanes are available in VME / VPX hybrid versions and support Legacy Boards and the latest VPX boards.

Overview

6U OpenVPX Backplanes from Elma Electronics support  VITA 66 and 67 optical and RF apertures for connectivity including VITA 67.3 RF/Optical modules. Elma’s engineers have gained recognition for pioneering the industry’s inaugural VPX backplanes, positioning them as trailblazers in innovation amid the escalating requirements for elevated signal speeds and system intricacies.

With OpenVPX backplanes pushing the speed envelope, every feature of the design can influence Signal Integrity – every trace, layer separation, turn bend, via, via transition, etc.Elma’s thorough Signal Integrity analysis and simulations cover the entire channel, guaranteeing optimal performance.
