6U SIXHEX-20HP Description

Sealed, 1" pitch, high performance dry-air 6U chassis incorporates six heat exchangers, 20 super conductive heat pipes & air re-circulation fans inside. This minimum maintenance ATR is ideal for applications where ambient air is laden with hostile or harmful contaminants.

CM-ATR-135/SIXHEX-HP

Heat is conducted to hollow sidewalls, top cover & rear panel heat exchangers where it is dissipated to the ambient environment by forced air rear fans or by vehicle air plenum. Two additional internal card-cage heat exchangers recirculate air & 20 integrated heat pipes provide fast passage for heat to exit the internal card-cage. Internal air recirculation fans ensure constant airflow across modules.

CM-ATR-1S5/SIXHEX-20HP

The 6U SIXHEX-20HP chassis is available in 5 & 7 slot versions (½ ATR, ¾ ATR, 1 ATR), supporting VME, cPCI, VPX, VPX-VME & cPCI-VME hybrid backplanes. Total PSU power of up to 825 watts may be installed. Custom modifications can be designed upon request.

CM-ATR-135/SIXHEX-HP Layout

Internal layout is divided into 4 independent metallic partitions. I/O section at the front, card-cage, PSU section & exhaust fans at the rear. This improves EMI/EMC performance & reduces PSU noise on system electronics.

This 1" pitch chassis has been designed exclusively for VME wedgelock IEEE P1101.2, Compact PCI 1101.2/IEC/118/ CD and VPX VITA 46.0/.1/.10/.3/.4/.7 conduction cooled modules. A mixed card-cage, supporting air-cooled and conduction-cooled modules my be selected upon request.

All CM 6U ATR chassis are delivered tested, qualified and certified per Military Standards MIL-STD-461E & MIL-STD-810F.

6U SIXHEX-20HP Backplanes

CM 6U SIXHEX-20HP military backplanes are available in VPX, VMEbus, cPCI, or combinations of VPX-VME64 or cPCI-VME64 hybrids, providing standard bus slot and signal daisy-chain functionalities. SIXHEX-20HP backplanes are 1" pitch & deliver full compatibility with 0.8" pitch modules.

CM ATR SIXHEX-20HP - 6U VME | cPCI Backpanes

All 6U backplanes install specific TTL logic circuitry for driving up to 8 front panel user LED indicators. Units fitted with a Temperature Supervisory Unit will also drive an additional panel LED TEMP (over/under temperature indicator).

  • VME64x backplanes conduction-cooled IEEE-1101.2 & air-cooled IEC-297/IEEE.1101.1 modules.
  • Compact PCI backplanes according to IEC 1076 / PCI 1101.10/IEC 48D/118/CD standards.
  • VPX backplanes conform to VITA 46.0/.1/.10/.3/.4/.7.
  • VPX-VME64x Hybrid feature mesh-fabric slots that support both VITA46 (VPX) & legacy VME64x slots.

All SIXHEX-20HP backplanes integrate a Temperature Supervisory Unit (TSU) with panel LED (over/under temperature) that controls Power Supply & Fan operation. Remote optoisolated control switches for ‘Battle-short’ & chassis PSU ‘on/standby’ are fitted as standard.

CM ATR SIXHEX-20HP - 6U VPX | VPX-VME Backpanes

CM 6U military backplanes allow unlimited pin I/O wiring capability. Flexible top & bottom wiring integration is facilitated by a standard 25mm bottom cavity clearance to avoid requiring a custom backplane.

The final slot in SIXHEX-20HP 7 slot chassis allow for bus functionality & contain power/control provisions to accept a eurocard-size metallically caged Redundant PSU. A single slot RPSU up to 575W operates in parallel with main PSU on a load-sharing basis to minimize component stress.

Custom backplanes maybe designed upon customer request.

CM backplanes support one or two 100W power sockets for optional micro-size DC/DC military converters with user defined output voltage. The converters are useful for increasing the +5VDC or +3.3VDC power lines or for generating isolated positive, negative or bipolar auxiliary DC voltages.

CM ATR SIXHEX-20HP - 6U cPCI-VME backplanes

Class 1 military power input connectors offer reliable shock & vibration interconnectivity between chassis internal modules and allows high DC current rates with low voltage drops & minimum contact heating.

6U backplanes are supplied with military conformal coating. Printed circuits boards are partially coated per MIL-I-4658C in areas in which do no affect VPX, VME, cPCI, or I/O connectors.

All 6U models integrate similar backplane electronics for easy switch-overs, retrofits or replacement parts.
