XPand1000: 3U VPX Chassis Conduction Cooled 2-Slot

3U VPX Two-Slot Conduction-Cooled Development Unit

The XPand1000 system is a low-cost debug, development, and display platform for 3U conduction-cooled VPX cards. It supports up to two 3U VPX boards with direct Ethernet and serial I/O access to each slot.

The XPand1000 backplane provides high-speed differential routing between the two slots. The J1 fabric slots A and B are cross-connected between the two VPX slots. Ethernet and RS-232 serial I/O are routed to RJ45 and micro DB-9 connectors for easy access.

The XPand1000 is the ideal solution for rapid prototyping of next generation VPX designs.
