VMG-14+ System Modules

VMG‐14+ System Modules
The VMG-14+ platform supports the service module suite listed in
inserted into the front of the chassis cage for connection to the chassis backplane. During operations,
the installed modules provide high speed routing and inter-module communication paths.
