Dual AMC Carrier
Project description
It is low cost, stand alone AMC carrier for 2 modules + optionally, Rear
Transition Modules. It can be connected to the PC using QSFP cable of
fiber and QSFP-PCIe converter. Such converter can be purchased from
Vadatech but we also prepare OH version.
The carrier has 4 SFP+ cages, 2 QSFP cages, 8 trigger I/O routed to
MLVDS. Carrier is supplied from standard 12V DC supply, has simplified
shelf manager that controls fans.
It also posess local LAN for diagnostics and monitoring.
Example configurations:
- AFC or AFC-K with AMC-CPU
- 2 AFC or AFCK with PCIe over QSFP
- 2 AFC or AFCK with Ethernet or WR
AMC micro Backplane board can be mounted in a specially designed Carrier and can be equiped with maximum 2 AMC boards and 2 RTM modules (max. 16 SFP+).
