3U Open VPX Backplanes

3U OpenVPX Backplanes supporting VITA 66 and 67 optical and RF apertures for connectivity including VITA 67.3 RF/Optical modules are available in VME/VPX hybrid versions supporting legacy boards and the latest VPX boards.

Overview

Elma Electronics provide cutting-edge 3U OpenVPX Backplanes that support VITA 66 and 67 optical and RF apertures for connectivity including VITA 67.3 RF/Optical modules. The pioneering VPX backplanes were designed by Elma engineers, marking a remarkable milestone in the industry’s technological advancement. They are the innovation leader as signal speeds and system complexities increase.

Within OpenVPX Backplanes, when striving to maximize speed, every element of the design, such as each trace, layer separation, transition bend via, etc., can significantly impact Signal Integrity. Elma’s Signal Integrity analysis and simulations look at the entire channel in order to ensure superior performance.
