VXI-C size 6021
The VXI‑C size 6021 Crate is a rugged, high-performance 13-slot VXI chassis (C‑size, 6U × 340 mm) designed for demanding test and measurement applications.
- Compact 6U VXI-C Mini crate with integrated 650 W PSU
- 5 V / 120 A high current rail for demanding loads
- Low-noise design: < 50 mVpp ripple, < 3 mVrms
- Integrated overvoltage & overcurrent protection
- Forced-air cooling with long-life DC blower (MTBF > 60,000 h)
Product Information
It offers modular design with up to 6 kW DC power capacity, advanced cooling, and microprocessor-based monitoring in an 8U enclosure.
The VXI‑C size 6021 Crate combines a rugged steel–aluminum 8U enclosure with a 13-slot VXI backplane, microprocessor-controlled fan tray, and modular high-density power supplies. It delivers up to 6 kW of DC power via “Cavity‑VHF” switching modules with comprehensive protection and programmability. High-performance cooling is provided by a bottom fan tray housing six individually controlled DC fans (1,200–3,600 RPM) with thermal and speed monitoring. Built-in diagnostics, LED display, and remote control interfaces (Ethernet) enable full system monitoring and integration into automated setups. With optional temperature sensors and a flexible, modular layout, this crate is engineered for reliability in high-demand environments.
