Reno, Nevada — [1/27/2026] — Sundance, a leading provider of modular, FPGA‑based embedded computing solutions, today announced that its VNX+ to 3U VPX Adapter has completed manufacturing and is now ready for immediate shipment to customers worldwide. This marks the next major milestone following the company’s earlier introduction of the adapter, which enables seamless integration of compact VNX+ modules into SOSA‑aligned 3U VPX systems.
The VNX+ to 3U VPX Adapter is a fully passive, mechanically transparent interposer that bridges a VNX+ 19mm, 400-pin SBCIO Plug-In Module (PIM) to a SOSA-aligned OpenVPX payload slot. By preserving full signal mapping and adhering to MOSA principles, the adapter allows system integrators to deploy VNX+ compute modules inside rugged VPX architectures without redesigning their systems or compromising performance.
With production now complete, Sundance is prepared to support defense, aerospace, industrial, and research customers who require compact, high‑reliability compute modules that align with open‑architecture standards.
“Completing manufacturing and moving this adapter into full availability is an important step for our customers,” said Ryan Carpenter, CTO of SundanceDSP. “System integrators have been asking for a clean, standards‑aligned way to reuse VNX+ modules inside SOSA‑aligned VPX systems, and this adapter delivers exactly that. With boards now ready to ship, customers can immediately begin deploying and validating their next‑generation embedded solutions.”
“We are pleased to see SundanceDSP bring this adapter to full production, as it strengthens the ecosystem of modular open‑systems solutions,” said David Givens, VP of Industry Standards at Samtec. “By leveraging Samtec’s high‑speed interconnect technology, the VNX+ to 3U VPX Adapter provides engineers with a reliable and standards‑aligned pathway for integrating VNX+ modules into VPX platforms.”
