Chris A. Ciufo has chosen the VPX extender product from PCI-Systems.
"Routing all I/O off the Backplane of a conduction-cooled board is well and good at the deployment stage, but it can be a nightmare during development. PCI-SYSTEMS, the company always innovating something new for VME and its ecosystem, has come up with a set of PCIe cables for OpenVPX. But not just any OpenVPX board: for a conduction-cooled OpenVPX board. Designed to simplify high-speed connectivity to conduction-cooled systems, the cable and companion boards bridge an OpenVPX system to a standard convection-cooled PCIe system." By Chris A. Ciufo
