Versatility, cost effectiveness, maximum security and scope for expansion are the perfect features offered by Rittal's new TS8 enclosure system.
Also available are backplanes in 3 and 6U configurations for CompactPCI power supplies, compatible both with DIN M connectors and both positions of use for the Positronic power connector.
These power backplanes also enable N+1 redundancy and power sharing, and again can be integrated into a monolithic CompactPCI structure.
RES has recently acquired the assets of Kaparel, formerly a division of PixStream based in Ontario Canada, which focused on the assembly of Compact PCI backplanes and was the first company to introduce CompactPCI and H.110 bridging techniques.
During the last 18 months Kaparel has designed at least one new standard and one new custom cPCI backplane a week.
Kaparel's backplanes are being incorporated into CompactPCI systems at Rittal's new European competence centre. Request a free brochure from Rittal ...
