Posted by Ken Cheung in Chassis on Thursday, July 24, 2008

Elma Bustronic Corporation, an industry leading designer and manufacturer of high performance backplanes has upgraded its 5-slot AdvancedTCA Backplane with a new shelf manager interconnect scheme. The upgraded 5-slot ATCA backplane now features standard MicroTCA connectors, which are small and dense, for the Elma’s IPM Sentry shelf manager connections. In addition to saving space, the connectors are widely available, reliable, and with compression mount design are field-replacable. If damaged, the MicroTCA connector can be unscrewed from the backplane and replaced.
