With an increasing number of applications demanding downtime measured in minutes rather than hours, Mektron Systems has launched a rugged and robust range of aesthetic powered CompactPCI enclosures that offer outstanding quality and versatility and are designed specifically to meet industry's stringent high-availability requirements where redundant operation, quick accessibility and high reliability are essential.
These turnkey enclosures come completely assembled, harnessed and configured to customer requirements and are ideal for applications in computerised telephony, IP telecomms or central office switching equipment as well as satellite or cellular communications or remote/unmanned installations.
Ruggedised COTS versions are available for military computer telephony applications that offer significant cost savings over traditional MIL-Spec enclosures.
Special consideration has been given to enclosure system functionality and front accessibility of all plug-in/hot-swap units is a key feature.
Up to three 600W hot-swap and redundant power supplies that plug directly into the backplanes can be accommodated along with the hot-swap fan trays, all are fully accessible from the front of the unit.
Mektron Systems has incorporated many beneficial features into the design of these enclosures and have abundant additional options available for user flexibility, including PSU, temperature and fan-fail monitoring and alarm generation, SCSI hot-swap mass storage devices and numerous drive bay options.
