The backplanes are PICMG 2.16-compliant and utilize controlled-impedance stripline design resulting in virtually zero crosstalk. The Bustronic 32-bit backplane line currently includes a 6U 8-slot and 3U versions in 3, 6, and 8 slots. The company also offers a range of 64-bit cPCI backplanes and various other CompactPCI accessories.
