SX-923
9-Slot Side Loading Chassis
The SX-923 side-loading chassis family is designed for high-performance multi-function processing and alignment with CMOSS, SOSA™, and OpenVPX™ technical standards. With a 9-slot configuration and enhanced processing features, the SX-923 supports secure enclave operations and efficient system integration for Cyber, EW, SIGINT, and Comms applications across diverse platforms.
Built to meet rigorous MIL-STD-810G and MIL-STD-461C standards, the SX-923 chassis provides robust performance in extreme conditions. Its side-loading design allows for convenient access and configuration, while compliance with VPX REDI conduction cooling standards ensures optimal thermal management. The SX-923 is ideal for aerospace, defense and commercial applications needing reliable, scalable processing solutions in a rugged chassis.
