NATIVE-R2

The NATIVE-R2 is a 2U, 19″ MTCA.4 chassis in a compact form factor. Despite its handy dimensions, it accomodates up to 6 AMCs and 5 mating RTMs, a Power Module, and an MCH with optional RTM. Moreover, the backplane supports PCIe x8 to every AMC in the system.

Payload Boards

The NATIVE-R2 is a compact MTCA.4 chassis for up to 5 double-width mid-size AMC modules. Each of them can be expanded from the rear by a double-width mid-size µRTM, connecting to the mating AMC via a Zone3 connector. Thus it is possible e.g., to rise the number of interfaces. Other options may be an increase of storage capacity or processing power – all without populating a further slot from the front side.

Moreover, the NATIVE-R2 offers mounting space for an additional AMC in double-width full-size form factor, but without the option for an µRTM.

Flexible Infrastructure

The NATIVE-R2 supports a double-width full-size MCH with the possibility to connect an additional NAT-MCH-RTM.

With an optional JSM card conversion kit, a JTAG switch module (e.g. NAT-JSM) can be installed from the rear side.

The NATIVE-R2 is powered by a double-width full-size Power Module.

White Rabbit Support

As an option, the NATIVE-R2 supports the White Rabbit protocol. This Ethernet extension provides extremly fast, high-accurate time transfer and synchronization, based on modular and flexible Ethernet networks.

Cooling Performance

The NATIVE-R2 chassis features a fully managed Cooling Unit (CU) with airflow from the right side to the left. The CU owns 4 push fans, summing up to a total air flow of 400 CFM (684 m³/h).
