Optical MT backplane interconnect system simplifies VPX-architecture
Fully compliant with the ANSI-ratified 66.1 specification, the compact VITA 66.1 optical MT backplane solution ensures VPX system engineers optimal simplicity in design and functionality for harsh environments. The new Molex VITA 66.1 optical MT interconnect system meets the defined requirements outlined by VITA 66.0 for blind mate fibre optic interconnects used with VITA 46 backplanes and plug-in modules. Available with 8, 12 or 24 fibres in standard singlemode or multimode and VersaBeam (expanded beam) MT ferrule options for design flexibility, the VITA 66.1 interconnect features a robust aluminium housing to withstand extreme temperature ranges from -50 to +105°C, as well as shock and vibration environments. The anodized aluminium-based housings provide a rugged solution for use in the designated VPX card space as determined by the standard, or can be used as a stand-alone solution outside of the VPX architecture.
