4003-605 Spanawave Carrier Module

Astronics / Giga-tronics / Ascor 4000 Series Switch Modules
The 4000 Series VXI Modules offer flexible front panel connectivity and rapid board level replacement to ensure that our customers enjoy minimal MTTR.

The innovation of the 4000 Series enables our customers to work more efficiently and reduces the repetitive hassle of splicing wires together and cumbersome programming. The 4000 Series provides a greater than 500MHz internal backplane to reduce front panel connector wiring.

The 4000 Series has been designed and developed after a number of years of building Multi-Slot VXI modules for a variety of different test applications. The 4000 Series design offers a significant advantage over our competitors products. The 4000 Series design creates very large matrices in a very compact area and eliminates the extensive front panel wiring to connect the matrices together. The switch modules fit in a small carrier (either the 4000 Series carriers or the 4500 Series carriers) which is then inserted into our standard VXI Chassis. The matrix then looks like a single VXI card and is fully compatible with the VXI Plug and Play software driver.

Giga-tronics / Ascor 4000 Series Carriers
The 4000 Series Carriers come in various widths but act as single VXI modules. They offer flexible front panel connectivity and rapid board level replacement to ensure our customers enjoys minimal MTTR. The 4000 Series Carriers are available in widths of 3-wide (occupies 3 VXI slots) up to 8-wide (occupies 8 VXI slots). Customers can configure from 6 to 16 PCAs within the various Multi-Slot module options. All of the PCAs are removable from the front, so that in the event a PCA fails; you merely unplug the connector on the front of the PCA and removes the PCA from the Multi-slot module.
