Trenton’s New TRC2002 Achieves IEC Certification

by Mark Lovett on December 28, 2010

Founded over 100 years ago, the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is the leading global organization that prepares and publishes international standards for electrical, electronic and related technologies.  The IEC also publishes testing standards to certify that electronic equipment, systems, or components meet its International Standards.

Trenton TRC2002 Rackmount ComputerEngineered to support a diverse range of full-length option cards typically used in many mission critical applications such as surveillance aircraft, automation machinery, and ground-vehicle control systems, Trenton’s TRC2002 rackmount computer recently passed stringent IEC testing for environmental and electromagnetic compatibility.

Features of the TRC2002 include:

  • Lightweight all-aluminum enclosure design
  • Shallow 18″ depth for space constrained locations
  • Multiple SBC options including the Trenton JXT6966
  • Two front-access, hot-swap 2.5″ drive carriers
  • Redundant 400W hot-swap system power supplies
  • PCI Express, PCI-X or PCI option card support
