Tower Enclosures
The Hybricon portable tower enclosures are high performance development chassis with cooling for up to 130W per slot. These enclosures support 3U and 6U backplanes and are designed to the latest ANSI/VITA specifications.
CWCDS offers a wide range of tower enclosures (also known as standard chassis). These desk top chassis support a wide range of standard OpenVPX backplane profiles, including 6U backplane and 3U backplane profiles, as well as standard VME64x, CompactPCI, VXS, and hybrid backplanes. Standard tower chassis are available to support air cooled boards.
The COOL-XC3 chassis are 6/8-slot vertical tower style chassis that support 3U backplanes [OpenVPX (1" pitch), VPX, cPCI, VME] and provide OpenVPX compliant power and cooling. These enclosures have a carrying handle for portability, an automatic fan speed control, and an optional USB connection for remote voltage margining and current monitoring.
The COOL-XC6 enclosures are 6/8-slot vertical tower chassis that support 6U backplanes [OpenVPX (1" pitch), VXS, CompactPCI, VME64x] with the same features as the COOL-XC3 family.
The COOL-M chassis are 5-slot vertical tower enclosures that support 3U backplanes [VPX REDI (1" pitch), VPX, cPCI, VME] with a 400W power supply. These chassis also include optional automatic fan speed control.
