02Core Capabilities

Introduction to XTend4130

The XTend4130 is a 3U VPX development backplane designed in accordance with OpenVPX™ system architecture specifications that supports one or two centralized switches for a single or dual star topology.

Switch Configurations

When one switch is used, the XTend4130 provides a single star centralized switching topology. When two centralized switches are installed, the XTend4130 supports redundancy on both the control and data planes with a dual star implementation.

RTM & Power Support

The XTend4130 provides VITA 46.10 RTM connectors for each payload slot and switch slot, and supports up to two parallel VITA 62.0 power supplies. The XTend4130 also supports power sourced from a development DC-DC power supply.
