Macrolink's Manx series is a family of premiere quality rugged chassis
designed to meet extreme environmental demands and weight restrictions.
The Manx members of this family set a new standard for lightweight,
high-power VME/cPCI chassis
A precise blend of machined,
formed and extruded members impart an exceptional degree of structural
integrity, while eliminating excess material and significantly reducing
the number of mechanical fasteners for increased reliability and ease of
access to Field Replaceable Units (FRUs).
Access to system boards,
backplane, and rear transition modules is via hinged covers. All
internal and external surfaces are chromate conversion coated with a
powder-coated exterior finish providing maximum protection against
corrosion. All materials and finishes meet fungus and salt atmosphere
resistance per MIL-STD-810E.
The Manx’s card cage
assembly accepts up to ten 6U VME or cPCI boards into a monolithic
backplane. There is ample area on the rear of the chassis assembly to
accommodate the densest of I/O configurations.
An oversized filtered air
intake combined with high-efficiency/high-pressure fans, insures
generous airflow through the card cage. A sophisticated thermal
management design extends the Manx’s operating capability to
environments from -20°C to +55°C ambient.
Complete EMI/RFI
integrity is maintained via conductive interior surfaces, braided
gaskets on all moveable panels and front doors, conductive gaskets on
all mating joints and honeycomb-shielded vent screens front & rear. All
faying surfaces are clear of finish to maintain optimal conductivity.
Macrolink's Manx series
is the ideal chassis to meet the most stringent demands of airborne,
field fixed, naval surface and ground mobile deployments at an
affordable price and the rapid delivery of a COTS enclosure.
