VT860

The VT860 is a 5U μTCA chassis that provides four AMC full size, six mid size and two compact slots that can accept any AMC.1, AMC.2, AMC.3 and/or AMC.4. It provides CLK1, CLK2, and CLK3 to each slot in addition to the JTAG signals. The VT860 has full redundancy. It’s capable of having redundant MCH, Power Modules, as well as redundant Cooling Units for high availability. There is an option for redundant/non-redundant clock per μTCA specification. The CLK3 option can be configured for the Fabric clock as well as Telcom clock. There is an option for Port 2 and 3 to be directly connected among the adjacent AMCs or to the fabric B (AMC.3 SATA/SAS switch option on the MCH). The chassis has a JTAG Switch Module (JSM) slot per μTCA specification. This provides transparent communication between the front JTAG port and the selected AMC device.The VT860 has a Telco Alarm as well as Redundant FRU information devices and carrier locators.

VT811

The VT811 is a 8U μTCA chassis that provides 12 AMC mid-size double-width slots that can accept any AMC.1, AMC.2, AMC.3 and/or AMC.4. Although defined as “MicroTCA for Physics”, MicroTCA.4 is ideal for any application where rear IO is required. The chassis provides FCLKA, TCLKA, TCLKB, TCLKC and TCLKD to each slot.

OM6120

12 slot compact and powerful MicroTCA platform

Powerful MicroTCA platform for exceptional performance and versatility

The compact Kontron OM6120 brings exceptional performance and versatility to a wide range of quad-play telecom applications and high bandwidth datacom applications with significant cost improvements compared to conventional MicroTCA platforms. Cost optimization is thanks to its streamlined design that includes Power Management and Fan Control on the backplane, and pluggable Power Supply Units instead of MicroTCA Power Modules. All AdvancedMC modules connect to both MCH modules in a dual-star base interface (GbE) on AMC ports 0 and 1. Fabric ports 4-7 of all AdvancedMC modules connect to MCH 1, while the AdvancedMC modules’ extended fabric ports 8-11 connect to MCH 2, enabling the Kontron OM6120 to support a wide range of configurations.

The possibility to use single and double-width form factor AdvancedMC modules provides extraordinary flexibility for a wide-range of applications that demand high processing power, high throughput and low latency. In combination with the layout of two rows of AdvancedMC bays, the fabric options facilitate the implementation of dual-channel processor architectures with arbitration or checkpoints between the channels. By accommodating a high number of multi-core AdvancedMC modules and allowing a tight coupling of processors over high-speed communication links (over the backplane), the Kontron OM6120 is also well suited for image processing applications in single-channel or dual-channel architectures.
