CAVU Backplane Configurator

Mechanical & System

Standard profile

Form factor

Slot count

Payload slot pitch

Pitch is defined in inches (VITA 65, tied to cooling per VITA 48.x). HP (1 HP = 5.08 mm, IEC 60297) is the rack-mechanics equivalent.

Max channel rate

Fixed RT-3 fabric by default — omitted from the P/N.

Per-Slot Definition

Each slot picks its own card / profile, rear-I/O (RTM) and slot pitch. Power-card slots have a fixed pitch (5 HP per VITA 62) — changing it is blocked.
