New working group to develop COTS standard for cooling size, weight, power and cost (SWAP-C)-constrained 3U and 6U VPX module-based systems

Embedded Tech Trends, Houston, TX, January 17, 2016 — VITA, the trade association for standard computing architectures serving critical embedded systems industries today announced the formation of a working group that will develop a new air flow through (AFT) cooling standard, VITA 48.8, for use in size, weight, power and cost (SWAP-C) constrained 3U and 6U VPX module-based systems.

VITA 48.8 will achieve weight and cost reduction for AFT cooling by eliminating the use of wedgelocks and ejector/injector handles. The resulting open standard will be the first to bring AFT cooling to commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) 3U form factor VPX modules. It will … Read More → "New working group to develop COTS standard for cooling size, weight, power and cost (SWAP-C)-constrained 3U and 6U VPX module-based systems"
