Elma Bustronic has several variations of its CompactPCI
backplane line. The categories below provide an overview on each
type, including EasyCable, EasyPlug, Low Profile, 32-bit, PICMG
2.16, PICMG 2.17, and CompactPCI Express versions.
|
|
|
|
The EasyCable line features power nuts on the side
of the backplane offering a convenient and easy way to wire the
backplane. The 6U version standardly comes with an ATX connector
in the rear and has options for H.110 for Computer Telephony.
|
|
|
|
|
The EasyPlug line features pluggable 47-pin connectors
for convenient hot swapping of power supplies. This saves system
assembly time by reducing backplane cabling and reduces MTTR (mean
time to repair). The 6U line standardly has vertically oriented
power supply connectors. The 9U line is standardly horizontally
oriented.

|
|
|
|
The Low Profile line features power studs between
the slots to provide the most compact backplanes available. The
backplanes can pack more slots into smaller, low profile horizontal
chassis. The 6U line comes in standard cPCI, PICMG 2.16 (Compact
Packet Switching), and PICMG 2.17 (StarFabric) options. The 7U
line has various cabling and pluggable options for power and fan
tray headers.

This line of cPCI backplanes are 32-bit, as opposed
to the standard 64-bit. The 32-bit line offers hundreds of I/O
pins across the backplane that on the 64-bit version are defined
and therefore unavailable.

|
|
The EXP0 contains a system slot, one Type 1 slot,
and two Type 2 slots. The backplane features a bridgeable section
for a PCI-to-PCIe bridge.
