VPX and OpenVPX

Switched fabric for cost-effective 10Gb Ethernet and PCI-Express networked systems

Quick Explanation

  • Supports Redundancy management
  • Supports serial connection
  • Supports multiple slots
  • Supports power calculation

Protocol

  • ANSI standard (ANSI/VITA 46.0-2007)

VPX

VPX technology, formally known as VITA 46, provides VMEbus-based systems with support for switched fabrics over a new high speed connector. OpenVPX is a fully ratified open standard in the VITA organization. ANSI/VITA 65-2017 is the OpenVPX System Standard with several specifications for ruggedized mechanical implementation, RF signal interconnects, optical interconnects, and more.

Standards Supported

  • VITA 46 – ANSI/VITA 46.0-2007
  • OpenVPX – ANSI/VITA 65-2017
