100 Gigabit Ethernet VPX Backplanes from LCR Embedded Systems Support SOSA Aligned and VPX Module Payloads

Technical Highlights:

• 100 Gigabit Ethernet and PCIe Gen 4 VPX backplanes
• Designs intended for LCR’s rugged ATR chassis, rack mount chassis and VPX Development Platforms

March 2022 – Norristown, PA – LCR Embedded, a leader in integrated systems and enclosures intended for SOSA aligned payloads, announces the availability of 100 Gigabit Ethernet and PCIe Gen 4 VPX backplanes. The company has designed and completed testing of a multi-slot 3U VPX backplane that has exceeded the performance levels defined by ANSI/VITA 68.1-2017.

Designed for use in the most demanding and high-performance applications, LCR plans to apply the new high speed technology to backplanes designed for use in its rugged ATR and rack mount chassis lineup, as well as in its award-winning DK3 and DK6 VPX development platform.

In conjunction with this effort, LCR has developed an exclusive backplane test system for high-speed data transmission allowing for S-parameter characterization to 26.5 GHz. This system was verified by an outside test laboratory to provide independent verification of performance.  

“100 Gigabit backplane capability is another indication of LCR’s commitment to provide leading technology in high performance mission critical equipment. The demand for ever higher data rates will continue to grow along with advancements in RADAR, SIG-INT, EW and EA applications and LCR will play a key role in designing systems to meet those needs,” said Dan Manoukian, LCR Embedded President.
