MicroTCA systems now available in 2, 3 and 5U heights
14 June 2006Enclosures, Racks, Cabinets & Panel Products
The new MicroTCA system standard was developed as a compact solution for costs-critical applications to supplement AdvancedTCA (ATCA). Rittal and subsidiary Kaparel, a specialist for high-speed backplanes, are actively involved in the development of this new technology standard.
In 2005, Rittal already had running MicroTCA systems in use at leading card manufacturers and system integrators and presented its first cube solutions. Rittal now offers standardised solutions in 2, 3 and 5U, including backplanes for direct incorporation of AdvancedMC modules at half and full height.
MicroTCA features a very small construction form, high scalability and significantly reduced system costs. Because of its compactness, the system can be mounted variably in a 482,6 mm (19") enclosure on the wall or in an enclosure. AdvancedMC modules can be plugged directly on the backplane without carrier card.
The advantages of MicroTCA expand the range of uses outside telecommunications, eg, medical technology, security technology or industrial automation.
Rittal MicroTCA systems are available as 19" rack-mounted systems, 200 mm deep, completely assembled and ready to connect. Fan units are additionally integrated in the 3 and 5U systems.
