VXS backplane / 1-5 slots

This VXS unit, VITA 41.x - VMEbus switched serial, represents an extension of VME products and boosts the unfailing VME technology. It is reverse compatible with VME/VME64x and uses a new 6.4Gbps high-speed connector transversely on the PO/JO section of VME64x backplane. This new connector permits the use of switched fabric signals meant for higher bandwidth and dependability.

It is compliant with the newest VITA standards, has one or two VITA 41.x switch slots and up to 18 VITA 41.x payload slots. Each switch slot route allows one standard 4x link (8 differential pairs) to each payload slot. It has switched serial traffic over PO of V ME64x backplane.

Its high-speed multi-gig RT-2 connectors for up to 6.4Gbps data rate are used in the switch slots (P2-P5) and in the payload slots (PO) compatible with VME64x standard line cards. It has keying modules and alignment mechanisms for all VXS slots according to VITA 41 specification; system management IPMB bus per VITA 38. It supports rear transition modules in the payload slots according to VITA 41.11 specification.
