ETL Systems GENUS GNR-291-1U 1U Redundant RF Chassis with 10 MHz Reference

ETL Systems GENUS GNR-291-1U 1U Redundant RF Chassis with 10 MHz Reference

The ETL Systems GENUS GNR-291-1U houses up to 17 compatible RF modules in a compact 1U rackmount chassis with an internal 10 MHz reference source and dual redundant power supplies.

Configure the modular chassis with amplifiers, frequency converters, matrices, RF over fibre, redundancy switches and other compatible modules for satellite ground station signal management. The high-stability ovenised oscillator provides reference distribution, with optional external 10 MHz input and automatic reference-source switching. Field-replaceable components, local touchscreen control and secure remote monitoring simplify operation and maintenance.
