VPX Plus

Meritec VPX+

Meritec offers a compatible cabling system that provides endless possibilities for accessing and expanding the basic VPX backplane. Bring all VITA46 and Open VPX I/O out of your VPX backplane utilizing SATA, SAS, Serial Rapid I/O, Infiband, Ethernet and Mil-38999 connectors. This system and its I/O capabilities are designed for full bandwidth test and deployment.

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.
