The shock-isolated MicroTCA card cage inside the ruggedised ATR chassis attenuates the level of shock and vibration that is seen by the MicroTCA cards, allowing the chassis to meet stringent ANSI/VITA 47 and MIL-STD-810 shock and vibration requirements.
Military circular connectors are provided for copper and fibre I/O.
This I/O can be tailored for specific applications.
