Carrier-Grade AdvancedTCA Chassis - Elma

Elma Electronic Inc., announces a new generation AdvancedTCA system platform for carrier-grade applications. The new AdvancedTCA chassis meets the requirement of at least 20-30% airflow in each of the 4 regions of the ATCA blade. The chassis is cooled via three individually removable fan trays. Each tray has two 250 to 420 CFM (cubic feet per minute) airflow fans with PWM (pulse width modulation) control. A honeycomb air filter below the fans maximizes air intake while a NEBS-compliant air filter above the fans ensures even air distribution.

Other features of the Carrier-grade ATCA Chassis include rear I2C-enabled dual 50A power entry modules per segment (A and B), and optional PEMs with an integration circuit breaker. The chassis is RoHS compliant with an attractive black finish over the steel construction.

The Carrier-grade ATCA Chassis has a 14-slot Dual Star backplane (Mesh versions available upon request). The backplane has connectors for full pluggability and redundancy. The slot 0 of the backplane allows redundant shelf managers to be plugged in, saving space. The backplane has been optimized for performance via signal integrity studies.

Elma also offers ATCA system platforms in 2U, 4U, and 5U heights standard and in AC or DC versions. The company also offers backplanes, handles, panels, extender cards, and more in the AdvancedTCA format.

Elma Electronic Inc. is a manufacturer and supplier of backplanes, enclosures,  cabinets, cases, and packaging for CPCI, Rugged COTS, VME/64x, VXS, VPX, ATCA, MTCA, and custom bus structures. Elma’s component product line offers a wide selection of top quality switches knobs and LED arrays.
