VPX6-6900 Serial RapidIO® Switch

The VPX6-6900 is a 6U dataplane switch that supports 24 x SRIO (x4) ports to the VPX backplane enabling systems integrators to architect small to large high-performance systems following guidelines provided in the VITA 65 (OpenVPX™) systems specification. The VPX6-6900 was designed to follow VITA 65 / OpenVPX design principles. It can be used in multiple backplane profiles. Complimented with Curtiss-Wright Controls' VPX control plane switches, systems integrators can implement high-performance data, control and management plane systems.
