Spacepath L Band to C Band Upconverter 1:1 Redundant System

Description

The Spacepath L Band to C Band Upconverter 1:1 Redundant System provides a commercial grade L Band to C Band Upconverter solution. The Spacepath L Band to C Band Upconverter 1:1 Redundant System can be used to connect L Band RF distribution systems to C Band RF systems. The Spacepath range of intelligent frequency converters support the next generation of satellite communication applications with its state of the art design, unprecedented reliability, and 3 years warranty.

The Spacepath L Band to C Band Upconverter 1:1 Redundant System series can combine up to 4 embedded frequency converters in a single 1RU chassis to provide a high density 1:1 redundant up/down converter. The Spacepath L Band to C Band Upconverter 1:1 Redundant System features patent pending hot-swappable power supply and converter module shelf redundancy with embedded switch controller, embedded input and output switches. The Spacepath L Band to C Band Upconverter 1:1 Redundant System supports intuitive monitor and control functionality via the front panel, serial ports EIA232/EIA485 and Ethernet.

The Spacepath L Band to C Band Upconverter 1:1 Redundant System features superior RF characteristic with flexible reference auto-sence functionality that can lock to an external 5/10 MHz reference or utilise the built-in high stability reference oscillator.
