VadaTech UTC002 is a feature-rich MCH (MicroTCA Carrier Hub) for the μTCA chassis. It’s management software is based on VadaTech’s proven 2nd generation Carrier Manager and Shelf Manager. The MCMC manages the power modules, the two CU (Cooling Units) and up to 12 AMCs within the μTCA chassis. It also interfaces to and manages the on-board fabric interfaces. The module is available with PCIe, SRIO, 10GbE Layer 3 managed, GbE Layer 2 managed and SAS fabric interfaces.
The UTC002 runs Linux 2.6 on it’s MCMC CPU and is hot-swappable and fully redundant when used in conjunction with a second instance of the module. The firmware is HPM.1 compliant which allows for ease of upgrade. The UTC002 has sophisticated clocking features. It has options for Telecom, GPS and/or Fabric clocks. Stratum-3 TCXO and VCTCXO is the default configuration.
