VPX Accessories

A full line of accessories for the VPX marketplace based on the various VITA Standards for VPX, offering unique and innovative features.


Ethernet Conversion Modules

10G-KR/KX/SGMII to 10G/1G-BASE-T Conversion Module. Convert Backplane SERDES interfaces (KR/KX/SGMII/USXGMII/) to 10G/1000/100 BASE-T for External Chassis interface.


cPCI Bridges

cPCI Bridge 64 bit & 32 bit. cPCI extended backplane 18-21 slots.


6U Extender Boards

6U VMEbus and VME64 extension standards extender boards are primarily used to adapt the depth of a 6U board to fit into a deeper-sized card cage.


Prototyping Boards

3U and 6U VME, VME64x and CompactPCI prototyping boards. 0.1″ pin grid arrays allow for easy and efficient testing of your active components.


Slot Load Boards

Dawn invented the slot load board (US Patent 5,157,326) to provide all necessary features to conduct thermal analysis, design validation and system characterization. Available in all standard bus architectures and custom.


Filler Panels

3U, 6U and 9U high quality filler panels in variety of widths. Standard, IEEE1101.10 versions and customization of standard panels. Alodine coated for maximum electrical conductivity and superior corrosion resistance. Complete with all required mounting hardware.


Overlays

Adds or expands VSBbus architecture for your host VMEbus architecture. Geographical addressing is user defined at each slot. Daisy-chain jumper option accessible from overlay rear.


Rear Transition Modules

Universal 6U or 3U VPX Rear Transition Modules, Micro 6U VPX Rear Transition Modules, custom designed Rear Transition Modules.


SOSA USB to RS-232 Adapters

Dawn SOSA aligned expandable USB to RS-232 adapter. Each module converts 8 Serial ports to 1 USB2 port.


Transition Module Extender Cards

Extension of VME64x RTM boards from rear of backplane. Some systems have obstructions such as power supplies behind J1 which prevents direct insertion of RTM’s.


Test Extender Boards

3U, 6U and 9U VMEbus, VME64x and Universal testing applications test and form factor extender boards. Excellent power and ground distribution


Slot Bypass Boards

6U VME and VME64x slot bypass boards provides jumpering for BG/IACK signals through P1. Excellent way to fill empty system slots. Air flow management can also be improved.


Front Panels

3U, 6U and 9U high quality front panels in variety of widths. Standard, IEEE1101.10 versions and customization of standard panels. Alodine coated for maximum electrical conductivity and superior corrosion resistance. Complete with all required mounting hardware.


Power Busbars

Dawn’s busbar sets are designed to reduce assemble time connecting +5V, +3.3V and GND to backplanes by allowing the use of one or more large wire cables rather than multiple smaller ones.

Power Entry Modules

3U and 6U N+1 compatible 47-pin plug-in power supply power entry modules.
