DEV 216x Essentials Active L-Band Splitters, 500-2300 MHz

DEV 216x Essentials Active L-Band Splitters, 500-2300 MHz 

The DEV 216x Series Essentials Active L-Band Splitters provide cost-effective RF signal distribution for satellite ground stations, broadcast facilities and other professional L-band systems. The series includes 1:4, 1:8 and 1:16 configurations operating across the wide 500-2300 MHz frequency range.

Each splitter features 75 Ohm precision F female connectors and switchable LNB power. Optional DC and 10 MHz pass-through allows compatible receivers or demodulators to power and control the connected LNB through output port 1. The compact 0.5 RU chassis can accommodate two 1:4 or two 1:8 splitters, enabling two DEV 216x units to fit within a single 1 RU rack space.

DEV Essentials models maintain professional RF transmission performance while omitting advanced functions such as redundant power supplies, monitoring ports, RF sensing and alarm management.
