Schroff, one of the industry's leading manufacturers of CompactPCI Microcomputer Packaging solutions, has unveiled a complementary range of 19" power supplies.
Cut-down prices for CPCI
Europac Integral offers all the benefits of a standard CPCI system including high stability, robustness and EMC shielding but at a far-reduced cost.
The new Schroff CompactPCI 2.16 system incorporates backplane, power supply, cooling, and provision for monitoring into a single package that provides theoretical data transfer rates of up to 50Gbit/s.
In addition to compatibility with the PICMG 2.16 specification, the backplane also supports star fabric (PICMG 2.17) and serial mesh (PICMG 2.20) applications.
The new CompactPCI telecomms system is based on a 19in, 10U-high subrack with a Schroff CompactPCI packet switching backplane.
The backplane incorporates 14 node slots and two fabric slots to facilitate the construction of a redundant high availability system using 6U boards.
The new system includes two Schroff 3U-high, 19in maxpowerPRO power supplies (250W each), and can be optionally configured with two additional maxpowerPRO units to provide up to 3+1 power supply redundancy.
Two additional 3U slots are reserved for redundant operation of Schroff CMM chassis monitoring modules, which enable remote monitoring (via TCP/IP) of crucial system parameters such as voltages, temperatures, and fan operation.
Cooling is provided by a hot-swappable plug-in fan unit, with two axial fans and a filter mat located beneath the board section.
Total cooling capacity is approximately 1200W.
If one fan fails to operate at the correct set speed, the other automatically switches on, and an alarm is activated.
The new Schroff CompactPCI complete telecomms system is available immediately.
