ETL Systems FN-U-C2L1-24440AB – 950–1525 MHz to 5850–6425 MHz Upconverter

The ETL Systems Falcon FN-U-C2L1-24440AB converts 950–1525 MHz L-band signals to 5850–6425 MHz C-band output. It provides nominal 5–35 dB variable conversion gain, IF power monitoring and single-stage, non-inverting frequency conversion.

This hot-swappable, four-slot module requires a compatible GENUS chassis, which provides local and remote monitoring and control. Redundant configurations are supported with the appropriate switches and additional converter modules.

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 connectors, chassis and redundancy arrangement when requesting a quotation. The full ordering number includes a configuration suffix: FN-U-C2L1-24440AB-XXXX.

The overview mentions variable slope, but the RF specification table does not define a slope adjustment range. Confirm slope capability if required.

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.
