This standard provides an alternate connector to the one specified in the VITA 46.0 VPX Baseline Standard. Because the 46.0 and the 60.0 connectors are not intermateable, a VITA 60.0 module will not plug into a VITA 46.0.0 backplane and vice versa. However, the VITA 60.0 standard provides VPX users with the flexibility to choose a VPX module and backplane connector combination for their specific application requirements
