The VadaTech UTC041 is the most feature-rich conduction cooled MicroTCA Carrier Hub (MCH) in the market. Its management software is based on VadaTech’s robust Carrier Manager and Shelf Manager which have been deployed for years with proven results. The MCMC manages the Power Modules, Cooling Units, and up to 12 AMCs within the chassis. It also manages PCIe Gen3 Fat Pipe switches as well as the standard GbE with 10GbE uplink Base Channel switch. The UTC041 panel with no PCIe Fabric is 4HP with PCIe option it is 8HP.

The UTC041 runs Linux on its centralized quad-core CPU and is hot-swappable/fully redundant when used in conjunction with a second instance of the module.

The firmware is HPM.2 compliant which allows for easy upgrades. It provides Master JTAG services to the AMCs via the JSM.

The UTC041 has advanced clocking features including grand master clock and high-quality clock distribution/synthesis.
