ETL Systems GENUS GNS-193-3U 3U Modular RF Chassis with 10 MHz Reference

ETL Systems GENUS GNS-193-3U 3U Modular RF Chassis with 10 MHz Reference

The ETL Systems GENUS GNS-193-3U accommodates up to 17 compatible RF modules in a 3U rackmount chassis with an integrated high-stability 10 MHz reference source for satellite ground stations.

Configure the chassis with high-performance 4-way active L-Band splitter and combiner modules. Module options include fixed or variable gain and slope, dual redundant amplifiers and LNB powering. The internal ovenised oscillator provides reference distribution, with optional external 10 MHz input and automatic reference-source switching. Dual redundant power supplies and local or remote control support reliable operation.
