WATERLOO, Ontario – Pixus Technologies in Waterloo, Ontario, is introducing the Pixus OpenVPX development chassis for embedded computing design, with a mix of card guides that enable users to test IEEE 1101.10 air-cooled and IEEE 1101.2 conduction-cooled boards in the same enclosure.
The chassis enables the use of rear transition modules (RTMs) and as many as eight backplane slots at a 1-inch pitch. The open-frame design provides a way to attach probes and access the plug-in boards.
Pixus offers various slot sizes and profiles of 3U and 6U OpenVPX backplanes compliant to the VITA 65 specification.
A modular power supply enables designers to assemble various modules for 3.3-, 5-, and plus-or-minus 12-volt auxiliary voltages, and other options for the ideal power output for each configuration.

Pixus has developed specialty card guides, threaded inserts, and front and filler panels for the half-HP offset spacing of the architecture for a precision fit and alignment. The company has also developed an ultra-rugged rail to prevent bowing or cracking due to high-insertion forces of 6U OpenVPX designs.
Pixus offers OpenVPX chassis in 19-inch rackmount, development/desktop, air transport rack (ATR), and ruggedized versions. The company also provides components, chassis platforms, and modular instrumentation cases in various form factors.
