SX-923 Side-Loading OpenVPX™ Chassis | Pacific Defense  </div> <p>Why It Matters</p> <p>The SX-923 enables a robust SOSA/CMOSS ecosystem, supporting a wide range of configurations with open standard plug-in cards from multiple vendors. 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. Through its alignment with MOSA, systems built on the SX-923 can replace multiple standalone proprietary units, consolidating functions like communications and computing into a single chassis. This simplifies system architecture and improves SWaP-C (Size, Weight, Power, and Cost) efficiency, offering a future-proof solution for mission-critical operations.</p> <p>Designed for Rugged, Flexible Operation</p> <p>The SX-923 features a 9-slot configuration, 100G high-speed flexible backplane topology, and advanced chassis and system management capabilities. Its side-loading design ensures superior reliability by eliminating the need to remove front panels and cables, allowing for faster, more reliable Plug-In Card (PIC) configuration. Built to exceed MIL-810 thermal requirements, the SX-923 provides exceptional ruggedness for a wide range of military and aerospace missions.</p> <p>
