CC8WM-1659A WinSystems 8-Slot Card Cage

The WinSystems CC Series 3/4" Card Cages and Backplanes are configured from 2 to 21 slots and are ideal for high performance and demanding STD Bus applications. WinSystems' STD Bus motherboards are available in eight different versions from 2 to 21 slots. Spacing is on 0.75 inch centers. The motherboards support both STD and CMOS STD Bus cards with no termination required. WinSystems STD Bus card cages are ideal for industrial environments. The design is based on field-proven engineering techniques in order to offer the highest integrity and reliability. To take advantage of convection cooling, the cards are vertically aligned. Two types of high efficiency switching power supplies are available for the card cages: 50W or 100W. The card cages are made from extruded alodine aluminum for the end plates, guide rails and connector rails. This offers both high strength and light weight. The card guides are made from high grade nylon and are self-lubricating, nonconductive, and provide isolation for cards and their components from shock and vibration. The guide tracks have integral card retention tabs to insure a secure fit. The appropriate WinSystems' motherboard is mounted to the card cage by riveting the connectors to the metal chassis. The connector housing accepts the insertion and withdrawal forces rather than the backplane PCB which adds reliability to the system. Three mounting configurations are available: Rack mount (RM), Table mount with side entry (SE), and Wall mount (WM). The rack mount version uses standard 5.25" flanges on all models that allows the card rack to be supported from the front. The table top version allows card racks to be supported by the bottom. The wall mount units are designed to mount to the rear vertical panel of an enclosure.
