The backplanes support high-speed signals on all data paths and VITA 67.3 fiber connectors and VITA 66.5 optical connectors.

All of our field-proven backplanes provide the foundation for up to 100Gbps performance for mission-critical systems requiring lower life-cycle costs and rapid technology insertion. They enable complex, high speed signal processing systems with the latest optical fiber and RF connectivity as well as slot profiles for SBCs and payload expansion.

Developers can use the development backplanes as configured or work with Elma to identify your specific profile configuration needs.
