6U VXS 6021 Full Size Chassis
The 6U VXS 6021 Full-Size Chassis combines VME64x mechanics with VXS technology, offering high-speed data, robust power, and advanced cooling for reliable performance.
Specifications
- "Mechanics: 19″ × 8U × 480 mm chassis, IEEE 1101.10 compliant, EMC/ESD-protected
- Slots: 21-slot dual-star VXS backplane (18 payload, 2 switch, 1 legacy VME64x)
- Power Supply: Modular UEP 6021 PSU, up to 6 kW DC, ultra-low ripple and noise
- Interfaces: Ethernet and RS232 remote monitoring, local LED display
- Cooling: UEL 6020 fan tray with 3 long-life DC fans (adjustable speed, MTBF >65k h)
- Protection: Overvoltage, overcurrent, and overtemperature protection, microprocessor-controlled"
The 6U VXS 6021 Full-Size Chassis is engineered to provide a robust and flexible platform for advanced test, measurement, and data acquisition systems. Its monolithic 21-slot dual-star VXS backplane supports both high-speed serial switched fabrics and legacy parallel VME64x connections, enabling seamless integration of modern and existing modules. The chassis is built from modular subcomponents including the UEV 6021 bin, UEL 6020 fan tray, and UEP 6021 power supply, all optimized for high performance and ease of service. The fan tray uses long-life, speed-adjustable DC fans with integrated monitoring, offering bottom-to-top airflow and excellent cooling capacity, while the alphanumeric LED display and Ethernet interface provide local diagnostics and remote control. The UEP 6021 power supply delivers up to 6 kW of ultra-low noise DC power with full protection functions such as overvoltage, overcurrent, and thermal shutdown. With its rugged mechanics, superior EMC/ESD shielding, and modular scalability, the chassis is ideal for mission-critical and high-performance environments.
