Hybricon's RME1021M High Power Enclosures Named Best in Class

Ayer, MA., November 29, 2005, Hybricon Corporation's RME1021M Series enclosure has been chosen as best standard enclosure of 2005 by EE Product News magazine. The editors at EEPN reviewed the past year's products and chose the best products in each of their standard product categories. Their choice of best products was based on performance or innovation or other quality that caught their attention.

Hybricon's RME1021M enclosures provide a significant improvement in cooling capability for high power ruggedized applications. The power dissipation levels of today's extremely dense CPU and DSP boards are dramatically higher than in the past and keeping these high power boards cool is a challenge. The RME21M enclosure meets that challenge by employing dual DC impellers powered by a dedicated power supply output and patented CoolSlot® air deflecting card guides to improve airflow. Thermal simulation of the enclosure shows an average airflow of 17.9 CFM, sufficient cooling for 145 watts per slot.

The RME1021M enclosures provide high quality ruggedized construction and a compact stackable design for vertically mounted cards. The enclosures are designed to meet MIL-STD-461 EMI radiated and conducted emissions and susceptibility standards as well as MIL-STD-810, MIL-S-901, and MIL-STD-167 environmental requirements (a commercial version, the RME821C series, is also available). Included are front and rear cover panels with honeycomb inlet and exhaust and provisions for shielded connectors for I/O. The enclosures are available with 21-slot CompactPCI®, VME64x, VME, or VXS backplanes and up to 2400 watts of embedded power. A closed loop fan speed control has programmable settings for minimum and maximum speeds and temperature break points.

Additional features include:

Fully compatible with IEEE 1101.10/11 packaging standards
Mounting for two internal hard drives
Thermal simulation of enclosure (thermal report available)
Low smoke wire
Honeycomb EMI air filters on front and rear panels
Front panel LCD display with monitoring of voltages, fans, and temperature with RS-232, Ethernet, and SNPM support
Custom configurations and integration services available
