New OpenVPX Backplanes Supporting SOSA Slot Profiles

Pixus Technologies has developed several new 3U and 6U OpenVPX backplanes with multiple slot profile configurations that align with the SOSA™ Technical Standard.

The Pixus backplane designs come in 5 to 16-slot configurations with various SOSA-aligned slot profile combinations. The 3U size is the more common, along with the backplane speed of 100GbE (typically four lanes x 25 Gbaud/s). The slot profiles have multiple configurations of routing options for compute-intensive, SBC, timing, switching, and peripheral boards.   The Pixus backplanes often include interfaces for the company’s rear pluggable mezzanine-based SOSA-aligned hardware chassis management card.
