New from electronics packaging specialist Schroff is a complete 4U, 9-slot subrack system based on the recently released CompactPCI Serial specification. The system takes full advantage of the specification’s high-speed serial bus topology to deliver a data transfer rate of up to 32Gbit/s via PCIe, 10GbE, S-ATA, USB 2.0 or USB 3.0 interfaces.

Schroff has extended its europacPRO range of modular subracks with a new version designed for use in demanding environments such as military systems, on aircraft, close to rotating machinery or in power generation applications.

Electronics enclosure manufacturer Schroff has introduced a new range of VPX clamshells that safeguard printed circuit boards in the extreme environmental conditions associated with defence applications. As well as providing an efficient conduction cooling method for transferring heat generated by high-performance components, the clamshells are designed to protect boards from the effects of shock and vibration.

The new Varistar LHX40 air/water heat exchanger from Schroff is capable of removing up to 40 kW of waste heat per cabinet, enabling increased server density of high performance blades without the risk of local hot spots or high overall ambient temperatures developing. The side-mounted unit fits to the left or right side of any 42U high 1200mm deep cabinet. At only 200mm wide, it will fit comfortably into a standard 800mm wide enclosure, enabling ...

Electronics packaging specialist Schroff has updated and expanded its www.a-tca.com website, which provides comprehensive technical information not only on AdvancedTCA but also on MicroTCA and AdvancedMC technology.

Electronics enclosure manufacturer Schroff has introduced a new range of rugged 19in. cabinets that have been specifically developed to handle the rigorous demands of underground railway applications. Utilising an innovative cable-channel design, the Varistar cabinet achieves an impressive EMC performance while significantly reducing installation time by allowing existing cable assemblies to be routed into the cabinet without the need for reterm...

Electronics enclosure specialist Schroff has expanded its multipacPRO range of 19in. chassis with the addition of a model that is made entirely from aluminium piece-parts. Suitable for applications as diverse as audio equipment and test-and-measurement instrumentation, the new chassis provides a light-weight yet sturdy housing for either PCBs or non-standard components. It features high-stability side profiles and is available in 1, 2, 3, 4 and...

The new SpectraCool range of industrial air conditioners from Schroff has been designed to provide efficient cooling of electronic systems in a wide variety of indoor and outdoor applications. Manufactured by McLean Cooling Technology, one of Schroff’s sister companies within the Pentair Technical Products Group, the new air conditioner employs a rotary compressor to achieve an energy efficiency up to 50% higher than conventional designs. In a...

The europacPRO family of subracks from electronics packaging specialist Schroff are designed to serve as versatile general-purpose enclosures for 19in. equipment and can also be configured for specific bus-based systems such as CompactPCI and VME64x.

Schroff UK has introduced 2-post and 4-post open patching frames and associated horizontal and vertical cable management products, designed primarily for high cable density data centre and computer room installations. Manufactured by sister company Hoffman, the Cabletek™ family ensures that copper and fibre cable runs are optimised for ease of installation, cable density and protection. The heavy-duty free-standing aluminium frames are easy to ...

Subracks, backplanes, power supplies and fan units from enclosure specialist Schroff have been used by German audio equipment manufacturer Lawo to help it achieve the reliability necessary for the TV sound systems in four new SABC outside-broadcast vehicles at the World Cup in South Africa.

New from Schroff are the Calmark Series 223 and 224 Card-Lok PCB retainers, which incorporate a patent-pending torque-limiting feature that enables a PCB assembly to be fixed into a chassis at a prescribed clamping force without the need for a torque wrench.
