PS4900 Ethernet Switch Fabric Backplane:
The PS4900 Series Ethernet Switch Fabric support Switched Ethernet, as defined in the PICMG 2.16 Specification and offer high capacity CompactPCI, incorporating Packet Switching architecture for developers of next generation telecom networks.

The PS4900 Series of backplanes allow telephony designs and high availability systems that combine CompactPCI with Ethernet for high-speed systems. The PS4900 Series offers a variety of off-the-shelf backpanes that provide flexibility in the overall system configuration.

PS4400 6U cPCI/H.110 Backplane Series:

The PS4400 series of 7U (for use with 6U boards) 64/32-bit backplane components allows the construction (up to 21 slots) of CompactPCI systems with H.110 compatible slots.  Each backplane module contains 2 to 8 slots, and can operate in stand-alone mode with a host CPU board and power supply.  Multiple backplanes can be linked together using rear-mounting CompactPCI bridge modules (PS113x) and H.110 bridge modules (PS1150).  When CompactPCI bridges are used, only the rightmost backplane operates with a host CPU board in the system slot. A bridge module drives the bus of the adjacent backplane, which does not contain a host CPU module. The rightmost slot becomes available for a standard CompactPCI peripheral board. That backplane can, in turn, drive a third backplane via a second bridge module and so on. The H.110 bridge module performs the same function for the H.110 bus segment.  Power is supplied to the system through ATX-compliant connectors.  CompactPCI power supplies mounted in PS12xx modular power series backplanes, or ATX power supplies may be used.

PS1400 6U cPCI Backplane Series:

PS1400 Series of 6U 64/32-bit backplane components allows the construction of CompactPCI systems with any number of slots. Each backplane contains between 2 and 8 slots, and can operate in stand-alone mode with a host CPU board and power supply. Multiple backplanes can be linked together using rear-mounting CompactPCI bridge modules (PS113x series). In this case, only the rightmost backplane operates with a host CPU board in the system slot.  A bridge module drives the bus of the adjacent backplane, which does not contain a host CPU module. The rightmost slot becomes available for a standard CompactPCI peripheral board. That backplane can, in turn, drive a third backplane via a second bridge module and so on. Power is supplied to the system through ATX-compliant connectors. Standard ATX power supplies or CompactPCI power supplies mounted in modular power supply backplanes PS12xx series may be used.

PS1300 3U cPCI Backplane Series:

The PS1300 series of 3.5U 64/32-bit backplane components allows the construction of CompactPCI systems with any number of slots. Each backplane in the family contains between 2 and 8 slots, and can operate in stand-alone mode with a host CPU board and power supply. Multiple backplanes can be linked together using rear-mounting CompactPCI bridge modules (PS1130). In this case, only the rightmost backplane operates with a host CPU board in the system slot. A bridge module drives the bus of the adjacent backplane, which does not contain a host CPU module.

PXI 23000 Series 3U Backplane

The 23000 Series of 3U PXI backplanes are PXI R2.0 and PICMG 2.8 draft specification compliant. These backplanes have one 64-bit CompactPCI bus and 3 to 7 peripheral slots.  Pixus Technologies can also provide custom PXI backplane designs and configurations to suit particular customer applications.  Announced in August 1997, PXI is an open specification defining how PC technology can be successfully applied to measurement and automation. By leveraging CompactPCI, Microsoft Windows, and VXI, the PXI specification brings together the right technologies for PC-based text and measurement, instrumentation and industrial automation.
