Peter Drake, Business Development Director
Our customer is a leader in global mobile satellite communications, continually developing and delivering innovative services and solutions to their customers.
Commissioned to adapt our partner’s Intel XEON enterprise server computers to be marine compliant to be supplied on board commercial ships
The product must enable the customer to use commercial off-the-shelf equipment in the marine environment by filtering out any noise from emergency communication bands
The external filter boxes are rack mountable with a dual power supply to support a redundant power supply to the device and help prevent system damage
No commercial off-the-shelf solution was available, so a bespoke design was required
The Solution
The filter boxes are designed to support the EMI compliance testing and certification of commercial grade IT equipment, from workstations to enterprise-grade server products in marine applications
Captec engineers developed and produced the filter boxes, limiting common and differential-mode EMI emissions from equipment and integrating EMI filters to provide clean power and incorporated dual power/rackmount form factor
Using our metalwork and electro-mechanical capabilities, Captec designed this product for high reliability and low maintenance
The Outcome
Captec produced an external filter box, rack mountable with successful compliance for marine use and designed to meet DNVGL-CG-0339 and IEC60945 standards
New Captec filter product brought to market, extending Captec’s marine product portfolio
All work was undertaken by Captec, from design through to test and production, with over 10,000 units supplied to date through worldwide distribution
