RES have recently acquired the assets of Kaparel, formerly a division of PixStream based in Ontario Canada, which focused on the assembly of Compact PCI Backplanes and was the first company to introduce CompactPCI and H.110 bridging techniques.
During the last 18 months Kaparel have designed at least 1 new standard and 1 new custom cPCI backplane a week.
Kaparel's backplanes are being incorporated into CompactPCI systems at Rittal's new European competence centre. Request a free brochure from Rittal ...
