                                backplane fabric connections supporting maximum data rates of up to 8 GB/sec with Generation 3 PCI Express. The 3U VPX form factor is 
                                compact and extremely well suited for avionics, including UAVs, shipboard and airborne radar and signal intelligence applications.
                                
                                
                                Each of the 3U VPX modules features a Generation 2 PCI Express interface (PCI Express 2.0). The PCI Express interface includes a bridge 
                                that provides PCIe lane-width negotiation for x1, x4 or x8 data transfers over the VPX backplane. 
Models 53XXX feature a crossbar switch 
                                which allows for flexible assignment of the PCIe interface lanes to backplane connector pins. The crossbar supports gigabit serial 
                                protocols for moving data independently of any particular protocol (e.g. Xilinx Aurora or Serial Rapid I/O). It can also handle multiple 
                                data streams simultaneously and allows each module to act as a VPX switch managing serial fabric connections to and from other modules 
                                across the backplane.  
Models 52XXX do not have the crossbar switch fitted.
