The XPand1200 is a low-cost flexible development platform. This system supports up to ten 1″ or 0.8″ pitch conduction-cooled cPCI (PICMG 2.0) modules. 550W of total simultaneous power is provided, which can be distributed as up to 50A on 12V, up to 50A on 5V, and up to 25A on 3.3V. An efficient thermal design allows up to 50 W of power dissipation per slot.

X-ES platforms, including the XPand1200 provide a feature rich solution for system development. RTMs provide maximum I/O flexibility and rapid system prototyping. Power and reset LEDs are provided for system status. A momentary push button is provided for reset and a switch is provided for DC power enable.

The XPand1200 is currently available for purchase in several rapid development standard configurations. Custom configurations of modules, RTMs, and backplanes are also available utilizing X-ES and 3rd party components. Please consult your X-ES sales contact today for your ideal rapid development solution.

The XIt4104 provides an expansive array of I/O connectors for X-ES’s XCalibur4101 6U cPCI SBC module hosting dual 8-port Ethernet switch mezzanines. The XIt4014 shown above supports rear panel connectors for two SBC Ethernet ports and 16 Ethernet ports from two mezzanines, one USB port, one DVI port, one eSATA port, and two RS-232/422/485 serial ports. Additional board connectors are provided for a second USB port and a second SATA port.

The XPand1030 system is a low-cost debug, development, and display platform for 3U conduction-cooled cards. It supports one X-ES CompactPCI SBC and the Cisco® 5940 with direct Ethernet and serial I/O access to each board.

The XPand1030 backplane provides CompactPCI bus between the two slots. Ethernet, RS-232 serial I/O, and DVI are routed to RJ-45, micro-DB-9, and HDMI connectors for easy access.

The XPand1030 is the ideal solution for rapid prototyping mobile ad hoc networks (MANET) based on the Cisco® 5940 ESR. The 5940 3U cPCI hardware is complemented by Cisco IOS® Software and Cisco® Mobile Ready Net capabilities. With support for Dynamic Link Exchange Protocol (DLEP), the latest protocol in the Radio Aware Routing (RAR) family of protocols that enable communication between a router and a radio in a mobile ad hoc network, the 5940 provides highly secure yet scalable video, voice, and data services for mobile and embedded outdoor networks.
