ETL Systems FN-U-C2L1-24440AA – 1150–2150 MHz to C-Band Block Upconverter

ETL Systems FN-U-C2L1-24440AA – 1150–2150 MHz to C-Band Block Upconverter

The ETL Systems Falcon FN-U-C2L1-24440AA converts 1150–2150 MHz L-band signals to either 5725–6725 MHz or 5850–6850 MHz C-band output. It provides nominal 5–35 dB variable conversion gain and 0–6 dB slope compensation for signal-level adjustment and frequency-dependent loss correction.

This hot-swappable, four-slot module uses single-stage, non-inverting conversion and requires a compatible GENUS chassis. Local and remote monitoring and control are provided through the selected chassis.

Specifications apply to the standalone module. Refer to the manufacturer’s datasheet for complete phase-noise, spurious and redundant-system specifications. The reference-stability temperature range is not a complete module operating-temperature rating.

Compatibility and Ordering

Supports 1+1 redundancy with SWF-G1S-KX-109A or 2+1 redundancy with SWF-G1S-KX-115, together with the required additional converter modules. RF performance varies by configuration.

Specify the required output-frequency mode, connectors, chassis and redundancy arrangement when requesting a quotation. The full ordering number includes a configuration suffix: FN-U-C2L1-24440AA-XXXX. Confirm the required monitor interface when ordering.

The manufacturer identifies these specifications as preliminary, and a minimum order quantity applies. Confirm final specifications, minimum quantity and availability before ordering.

This listing covers one upconverter module. The GENUS chassis, redundancy switch, additional modules, external reference source, RF cables and accessories are sold separately unless included in the quoted configuration.
