Product catalog summary
Overview
The CT-400 is a modular 13-slot C-size VXIbus mainframe designed to offer a cost-effective solution with high performance. It integrates with VTI Instrument’s high-performance VXIbus instruments and modular switching systems, providing a compact and efficient test system.

Cost-Effectiveness
The CT-400 provides 1100 Watts of power at the cost of 500 W mainframes from other manufacturers, significantly impacting the overall cost of test systems using multiple VXIbus mainframes.

Performance
The CT-400 features a unique backplane with a custom power sub-panel, automatic active Bus Grant and IACk jumpering, and a 10-layer stripline construction for superior performance. The airflow design ensures adequate cooling capacity, and the power supply assembly is easily removable for maintenance.

Power and Health Monitoring
The mainframe includes a comprehensive monitoring system with outputs for over-temperature, over-voltage, over-current, and fan-speed interrupts. It features self-healing fuses and LED indicators for quick status checks.

Mounting and Cabling Access
Various options are available for mounting the CT-400 in a standard EIA rack, including cable trays, a transparent front door, and customizable front panels. Adjustable rackmount flanges allow for flexible installation.
