The VITA 66.1 Ruggedized Optical MT Backplane Interconnect System is designed to meet the ANSI- ratified VITA 66.1 specification for VPX architecture. VPX (previously known as VITA 46 — an ANSI standard), provides component-and system-design recommendations to ensure compliance in military defense and other applications.
VITA 66 defines the optical requirements for VPX architecture. Molex’s VITA 66.1 Ruggedized Optical MT Backplane Interconnect System, available with two industry standard MT termini styles, is designed for blind-mate backplane applications that require optically robust interfaces with simple accessibility (no need for hand tools) to streamline MT assembly installation or regular maintenance. The anodized aluminum-based housings provide a rugged solution for use in the designated VPX card space as determined by the standard, or can be used as a stand-alone solution outside of the VPX architecture.
