The Meritec VPX+ also allows ultimate flexibility when either cabling daughter-card position to daughter-card position, point-to-point, or when incorporating cable I/O from the backplane. This utility recognized the need for laboratory development experimentation and for ultimately deployable product having certain unique functions.
