WILD100 8-Slot 3U OpenVPX ATR – WC3A80
The rugged WILD100 8-Slot 3U OpenVPX SOSA™-Aligned ¾ Air Transport Rack (WC3A80) is a 100Gb Ethernet-enabled COTS 3U VPX Chassis, Backplane, and Chassis Manager. For a rackmount version of similar capability, see the WILD100 7-Slot 3U OpenVPX Chassis (WC3170).
It is VITA 65 compliant, SOSA-aligned, and designed and built in USA.

The rugged 100GbE SOSA-Aligned 3U VPX ¾ ATR includes a thermally-controlled Chassis, Backplane, and secure Chassis Manager.
The 8-slot forced-air, conduction-cooled unit incorporates slots for up to four conduction-cooled 3U VPX Payload Boards, 100GbE Switch, Clock Distribution Card, I/O-intensive SBC, and VITA 62 power supply.
The Chassis Manager is VITA 46.11/SOSA-aligned and utilizes a Xilinx UltraScale+ ZU5EG or ZU11EG MPSoC.
