Quick-Turn OpenVPX Chassis and Backplanes Are SOSA-Aligned and 40/100Gb Ethernet Capable
Press ReleaseNovember 21, 2020
To speed delivery and reduce cost, Annapolis Micro Systems is now manufacturing a variety of ‘Quick-Turn’ WILD100 3U and 6U OpenVPX Chassis and Backplanes (WCG000) that are both SOSA-aligned and 40/100Gb Ethernet capable. Adjustable Chassis frames and standard 100GbE Backplanes are what make the cost reduction and short lead times possible.
This family of chassis frames that we maintain will allow our customers to rapidly get up and running on a 3U or 6U SOSA-aligned platform,” said Noah Donaldson, Annapolis Micro Systems Chief Technology Officer. “This further bolsters our position as the leading one-stop-shop for 100Gb Ethernet VPX products and systems that align with SOSA.”
The front-loading air-cooled Chassis feature up to 16 conduction-cooled slots. Accompanying 100GbE WILD100 Backplanes utilize SOSA-aligned payload and switch profiles:
- Payload Profile: SLT3-PAY-1F1U1S1S1U1U2F1H-14.6.11-n
- Payload Profile: SLT3-PAY-1F1F2U1TU1T1U1T-14.2.16
- Switch Profile: SLT3-SWH-6F1U7U-14.4.14
Payload slots include optional VITA 66.5C and VITA 67.3C connectivity.
Line rates of 25 Gbps on data and expansion planes are via 25/40/100Gb Ethernet, SDR/DDR/QDR/EDR InfiniBand, Gen 3/4 PCI Express, and/or custom protocols.
Also available is an Annapolis-designed and manufactured Chassis Manager (WABGM0). It is secure, SOSA-aligned, VITA 46.11 compliant, and features a Xilinx UltraScale+™ ZU5EG MPSoC.
With SOSA Version 1.0 anticipated to publish in 2021, these Chassis and Backplanes are timed to facilitate the rapid development and testing of boards and systems that are aligned with this super-standard.
Annapolis maintains a full WILD100 EcoSystem of 100GbE products that are SOSA-aligned and proven in the field.
