ETL Systems GENUS GNS-116 Benchtop RF Chassis with 100 MHz Reference

ETL Systems GENUS GNS-116 Benchtop RF Chassis with 100 MHz Reference

The ETL Systems GENUS GNS-116 is a modular benchtop RF chassis supporting up to 10 module slots, an internal high-stability 100 MHz reference and secure Ethernet control.

Designed for satellite communications testing and RF instrumentation, the GNS-116 accommodates compatible GENUS series 1U modules in an AC-powered benchtop platform. Combine frequency converters, test loop translators, noise generators, RF over fibre, splitters, combiners, matrices and redundancy switches to suit your application. The ovenised reference supports internal or external source selection, while SNMPv3 and HTTPS provide secure remote monitoring.
