The 14-slot design required routing for 28G+ signals across the backplane.  This is in excess of the 4 x 25G speeds of 100GbE and the capability of the high-performance RT3 VPX connector.   As such, a special high-speed connector was utilized for the 28G+ signals.  The backplane also required VITA 66.5 and VITA 67.x interfaces for optical and RF through the printed circuit board.

Pixus offers high-performance OpenVPX and other open standard architecture backplanes, chassis platforms, and specialty products.  The company also provides customizable faceplates, ejector handles, card guides, and other components.
