Both can accept 0.8-inch, 0.85-inch and 1.0-inch pitch modules and are suitable for commercial deployment, advises VadaTech.
Each chassis has a single universal AC input power supply to provide 800W or a single -48V DC 650W power supply and provides 95W/slot.
The VTX880 and VTX881 are designed to meet the ANSI/VITA 65 standard. They provide right to left push/pull cooling (18 CFM per payload slot at 0.24 in-H2O at 5,000 feet) to the VPX payload and rear transmission module (RTM) slots. The chassis have a removable air filter at the front. The VTX880 backplane provides five 3U VPX payload slots in a star configuration, compliant to VITA 46.0 baseline specification, with additional support to the RTMs, compliant to VITA 46.10 and OpenVPX VITA 65.
