The Abaco Systems / VMIC VMIVME-200-160 is a 21-slot VMEbus mainframe with a 20-slot backplane engineered for modular system integration in industrial, commercial, and military applications. Built from extruded aluminum with integral one-piece card guides, the chassis delivers structural rigidity while punched openings between guides enable efficient thermal management. The non-conducting epoxy powder coat finish provides durability and environmental protection.
