Hybricon Corporation announces the release of a new line of 10U rack-mount enclosures (the RME21XC Extreme Cooling Series) which have been designed to provide a cost effective platform for high power applications. The power dissipation levels of today's high power VITA 1.7 VME64x, VXS, and CompactPCI switch fabric boards just keep increasing; in the past few years power dissipation in the 50-60W range was the norm, now the range is increasing to 75-100W. With the RME21 Extreme Cooling Series, these 75-100W boards can now be effectively cooled, as demonstrated by thermal analysis which shows an average linear airflow of 2.3m/s, sufficient to cool up to 100W per slot.

The RME21XC enclosures are available with Hybricon's 21-slot VITA 1.7 VME64x, VXS or CompactPCI switch fabric backplane.

Hybricon's backplanes have been computer simulated in the company's signal integrity laboratory to ensure low signal crosstalk and trouble-free system operation.

The enclosures are available with up to 1600W of embedded power.

Pricing starts at $6000.
