TE Connectivity VPX Ecosystem

TE Connectivity’s VPX Ecosystem systems gives designers a complete array for high-speed data, optical, RF, power, and mezzanine connectivity. More choice means more flexibility in achieving specific system architectures with standards-based solutions. VPX lets the user achieve the high-speed signal integrity advanced applications require in rugged, reliable connectors. VPX is a ruggedized approach to embedded computing that aims to satisfy high-speed processing needs in harsh environments such as flight, ground defense, and other military applications.

VPX is a ruggedized approach to embedded computing that aims to satisfy high-speed processing needs in harsh environments such as flight, ground defense, and other military applications. VPX is widely used in defense applications, particularly for C4ISR (command, control, communications, computing, intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance).

As the latest standard architecture evolving from VMEbus, the VPX standard meets the needs for data-intensive processing in the aerospace and defense industries, where both ruggedness and high-speed performance are crucial. Supporting 10Gb/s in a switched fabric architecture, VPX systems are designed for flexible application of demanding high-speed protocols, such as 10G Ethernet, RapidIO, InfiniBand, and HyperTransport, in ground, aerospace, and marine applications.
