The SCVPX3U-12 VPX starter cage from GE Intelligent Platforms provides a flexible, cost-effective platform designed to support GE Intelligent Platforms’ latest 3U VPX modules. The platform is suitable for software development, integration, and test of VPX board level modules.

GE Intelligent Platforms’ range of circuit card assemblies (CCAs) are designed for use in a variety of convection, conduction and airflow-through module build styles. System integrators can develop and field-test this platform, secure in the knowledge that the same cards used in the laboratory and field demonstrations can be ordered in different build styles as required to meet the environmental requirements of a range of airborne, ground and naval platforms.

The SCVPX3U-12 comprises a 12-slot backplane, card cage, PSU, cooling fans, provision for auxiliary storage and all internal power wiring.

The card cage incorporates guide rails and alignment keys on the backplane to assist with correct board insertion. Once installed, cards can be firmly secured by front panel fixing screws. Cooling is by push convection, using fans at the bottom of the card cage. Airflow is adjustable by a front panel knob.

With the boards accessible from the front of the enclosure, to allow easy access to rear I/O, a 6U area behind the entire backplane is kept free. This allows easy fitting of GE Intelligent Platforms’ range of rear transition modules (RTMs) and any associated cabling.
