The Ziatech ZT-5084DC is a 10U, 14-slot CompactPCI (cPCI) general-purpose system chassis, powered by Ziatech Corporation (later part of Performance Technologies / Intel / Ribbon Communications). Designed for high-availability telecom and industrial computing applications, the chassis provides a modular CompactPCI backplane housing for up to 14 CompactPCI boards (CPU boards, I/O boards, peripheral cards) and supports N+1 redundant power supply configuration for continuous operation in mission-critical deployments. The DC variant is powered from -48V telecom DC power plants, typical of central office and carrier-grade equipment rooms.
