Pixus Launches RiCool 6U OpenVPX Chassis – 9‑Slot & 16‑Slot Configurations with Advanced Cooling
Pixus Technologies has unveiled the RiCool chassis platform, offering 9‑slot and 16‑slot OpenVPX backplanes in a robust 6U enclosure.
The RiCool line delivers high‑performance cooling for demanding CFM requirements. Each chassis features dual, hot‑swappable fans that provide up to 191 CFM per fan, efficiently moving heat from the intake below the card cage to the rear of the enclosure.
In a full 16‑slot OpenVPX system with a 1.0‑inch pitch, the platform supports 125 W per slot. By adding an additional 1U of height, cooling capacity scales to 250 W per slot or a total of 4,000 W.
The 9‑slot backplane adheres to the BKP6‑CEN09‑11.2.13 VITA 65 profile and is optimized for PCIe Gen3 (8 Gb/s). Higher‑speed options are available on request.
The 16‑slot 6U backplanes come in multiple routing configurations, with standard modular power supplies for VPX voltages. Pluggable VITA 62 or alternative AC/DC power supplies are also offered.
Beyond OpenVPX, Pixus supplies a full range of chassis platforms, backplanes, and specialty products, as well as enclosure solutions for MicroTCA, cPCI Serial, AdvancedTCA, and various instrumentation case formats.
