ATCA 5U 14 slot dual star backplane is compliant to PICMG 3.0 specifications. Amphenol ABSI have strong SI team that offer ATCA backplane simulation support for 10G, 40G and 100G system solutions.
5U 14 slot ATCA backplanes have zone 1 power connectors and zone 2 fabric connectors. Zone 1 connectors contain system management interface and power entry pins. Zone 2 connectors contains base interface, fabric interface, update channel and clock interface. Base interfaces and fabric interfaces are in dual star topology.

The Pixus Backplanes Division leverages designs from Kaparel, a leading innovator of AdvancedTCA designs, to create new solutions based upon proven techniques. Pixus’ backplane features superior performance in 5, 6, 14, and custom slot sizes. Simulations were run at the 3.125 Gbps and 5 Gbps and above speeds. The routing uses broadside differential pairs providing low noise coupling without additional signal layers.

Features:
– Conforms to PICMG 2.0 R 3.0, PICMG 2.1 R 1.0, PICMG 2.5 R 1.0
– System slot right and a continuous ECTF H.110 bus
– Front of backplane supports IEEE 1101.10-compliant boards
– RSH backplanes have the capability to support various external devises such as supplemental cooling fans and I/O hardware
– Rear I/O boards can be inserted in all slots
– Power is supplied via screw terminals, terminal bars or ATX connector
– Additional voltages from the CT bus are fed in via Universal Mate N-Lock connectors
– Connectors for external JTAG bus and IPMB bus connection are also standard equipment
