NATIVE-C1

The NATIVE-C1 is a 1U, 19”-wide compact MTCA.0 chassis for up to 6 AMCs and a high-speed backplane for up to 40G Ethernet. Moreover, the chassis supports 1 Power Module and 1 MCH.

Due to mounting space for 6 AMCs at a compact height of only 1.75″ (4.45 cm), the NATIVE-C1 give users the flexibility to configure this system for a wide range of applications, such as enterprise, industrial control, telecom, wireless, and others.

Payload Boards

In standard configuration, the NATIVE-C1 is a MTCA.0 chassis for up to 6 single-width mid-size AMC modules. On request, other combinations are feasible e.g., mounting of double-width and/or full-size modules.

All modules arrange horizontally for a space-saving built. The unique card guide design eases the insertion and removal of AMCs.

Flexible Infrastructure

The NATIVE-C1 provides a mounting slot for a single-width full-size MCH and a single-width full-size Power Module.

Below the PM slot, the chassis can accomodate a JTAG Switch Module (e.g. a custom sized NAT-JSM).

Towards the backplane, the compact NATIVE-C1 MTCA.0 chassis offers high-speed FatPipe connections (1x 8 lanes towards every AMC) and hence up to 40G Ethernet.

The replaceable fabric backplane improves the serviceability of the system.

Cooling Performance

The NATIVE-C1 chassis features 2 Cooling Units (CU), fully managed and hot-swappable. Air flows from right to the left; side-by-side cooling is supported.

Each Cooling Unit tray owns four fans in push-pull configuration, and one cooling management module (EMMC), which connects directly to the backplane.

Total air flow of all fans sums up to 80 CFM (135 m³/h).
