R-VPX description

The Amphenol Socapex R-VPX is a high-speed board-to-board interconnect system designed to meet and exceed VITA 46 standards. It is a modular commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) interconnect system that supports Ethernet, Fiber Channel, InfiniBand, and other protocols. It is a ruggedized system designed for harsh environments and is ideal for commercial and military aerospace, electronic systems, and C5ISR applications.

The R-VPX connector system is fully intermountable and intermateable with existing VITA 46 connectors, making it a highly versatile solution. It uses a ruggedized four-point contact system and has a low mating force, making it easy to use and highly reliable. The contact current rating is 1.5 Amps, and it can be combined with high-power modules, RF modules (VITA 67), and Optical modules (VITA 66).

The R-VPX interconnect system is a highly modular and lightweight solution that is ideal for use in a wide range of applications. Its high-speed capabilities, reliability, and ruggedness make it an excellent choice for use in harsh environments where high-speed data transfer is critical. With its ability to support a wide range of protocols and its compatibility with existing VITA 46 connectors, the R-VPX is a flexible and adaptable solution for a wide range of applications.
