Hybricon's New Extreme Cooling Enclosures Cool Up To 100 Watts Per Slot



Ayer, MA, 7/1/05 - Hybricon Corporation announces the release of a new line of 10U rack-mount enclosures (the RME21XC Extreme Cooling Series) which have been designed to provide a cost effective platform for high power applications. The power dissipation levels of today's high power VITA 1.7 VME64x, VXS, and CompactPCI switch fabric boards just keep increasing; in the past few years power dissipation in the 50W-60W range was the norm, now the range is increasing to 75-100W. With the RME21Extreme Cooling Series, these 75-100W boards can now be effectively cooled as demonstrated by thermal analysis which shows an average airflow of 450 LFM, sufficient to cool up to 100 watts per slot.

The RME21XC enclosures are available with Hybricon's 21-slot VITA 1.7 VME64x, VXS or CompactPCI switch fabric backplane. Hybricon's backplanes have been computer simulated in Hybricon's signal integrity laboratory to ensure low signal cross-talk and trouble-free system operation. The enclosures are available with up to 1600 watts of embedded power.

Additional features include:
o High quality ruggedized construction
o Fully compatible with IEEE 1101.10/11 packaging standards
o Provisions for 80mm rear plug-in modules and transition modules in all 21 slots with no obstructions
o Fan speed controller reduces acoustic noise and provides locked rotor failure detection and LED
o Supports optional front accessible peripheral devices
o Custom configurations and system integration services available

Pricing starts at $6000.00, call for delivery information. For more information, see http://hybricon.com/products/enclosures/rme21XC.html
