3U CPCI-S.0 Blades

ADLINK Technology Inc. (ADLINK)

The PICMG CPCI-S.0 CompactPCI Serial standard, which evolved from the PICMG 2.0 specification, is the fastest, most versatile, most cost-effective open standard for CompactPCI (CPCI). The Serial standard is mechanically and electronically compatible with 3U and 6U euro-cards, defining an interface for high-speed switched fabrics with a star topology. Point-to-point connectors allow up to eight peripherals on one system slot without switches or bridges. Ethernet data transfer can be configured with full mesh topology, which allows up to 1000Base-T connections to all peripheral slots for redundant, safety-critical systems.
