Waterloo, Ontario — Aug 24, 2015 - Pixus Technologies, a supplier of backplane, chassis, and embedded component solutions, now offers ejector handles and panels for 3U and 6U VPX boards. Designed in Europe, the high-quality handles are offered at highly competitive prices.

Front panels in 0.8", 1.0", and custom widths and 3U/6U heights are available in flat or Uchannel versions for EMC. The 2.5mm aluminum panels come in anodized or clear chromate finishes. Filler panels are also available in various widths. Pixus offers customized front panels, including silkscreening, powder coating, cutouts/milling, and other specialty requirements.
