Pentair Shows Off Flexible Interscale Case Platform, Enhanced Schroff Cabinets

Renowned in the electronics protection arena, Pentair plans to bring focus to its Interscale case platform and Schroff configurable cabinets at Electronica 2014. Also receiving the top billing will be its MicroTCA and AdvancedTCA systems, subracks, and electronics cabinets. Engineers wrangling with non-standardized or small-form-factor designs can take advantage of the Interscale standard, modified, and fully customized case options. At the show, the company will demonstrate its online Interscale M configurator, which facilitates design of individual cases for prototyping and production quantities. In addition, the company made strides with its AdvancedTCA system—its ATCA 450/40 now includes smaller systems with front-to-back cooling. A new 48-V dc vesion of the two-slot ATCA system to be unveiled at the show achieves up to 450 W cooling per slot. On another front, upgrades to the Schroff Varistar and Novastar 19-inch cabinet platforms usher in the three-level service concept—standard, modified, and fully customized. As a result, individual cabinets can be configured to satisfy requirement of many applications.
