DEV 2183 Dual 1:8 L-Band Distribution Amplifier, 950-2150 MHz

DEV 2183 Dual 1:8 L-Band Distribution Amplifier, 950-2150 MHz 

The DEV 2183 Dual 1:8 L-Band Distribution Amplifier incorporates two independent 1:8 distribution channels in a compact 19-inch, 1 RU chassis. Each L-band input is distributed to eight RF outputs, providing a total capacity of two inputs and 16 outputs for satellite ground stations, teleports, broadcast facilities and mission-critical SATCOM networks.

Operating across 950-2150 MHz, the DEV 2183 supports 50 Ohm SMA, 75 Ohm precision F and mixed-impedance configurations. Each channel includes LNB power and current monitoring, RF sensing, adjustable alarm thresholds and a dedicated monitoring output. Redundant AC power supplies enhance system availability.
