AdvancedTCA and MicroTCA systems pass shock, vibration and earthquake tests
Schroff has announced that its range of AdvancedTCA and MicroTCA chassis systems have undergone and passed rigorous testing at an independent laboratory to confirm their stability under extreme shock, vibration and earthquake conditions. With these open computing standards beginning to attract the attention of users in the industrial, transportation and defence sectors, it has become essential for systems to be able to cope with the most demanding of environments.
The The 14-slot 4U MicroTCA system under test was populated with 12 double AdvancedMC modules and two filler modules, resulting in a total system weight of 11.5kg.
The testing was carried out in accordance with IEC 60068-2-6 (vibration tests), IEC 60068-2-27 (shock resistance tests) and IEC 60068-2-57 (earthquake resistance tests).
