DEV 214x Managed L-Band Distribution Amplifiers, 800-2450 MHz

DEV 214x Managed L-Band Distribution Amplifiers, 800-2450 MHz 

The DEV 214x Series Managed L-Band Distribution Amplifiers provide configurable 1:8, dual 1:8 or 1:16 active RF signal distribution for satellite ground stations, teleports, broadcast facilities and professional L-band networks. Available models include the DEV 2142, DEV 2143 and DEV 2145.

Operating across the extended 800-2450 MHz frequency range, these managed distribution amplifiers offer adjustable gain and slope, LNB power, RF sensing and dedicated monitoring outputs. Input and output ports can be configured independently for 50 Ohm, 75 Ohm or mixed-impedance operation with SMA, BNC or precision F female connectors.

An integrated management system provides remote control and monitoring through SNMP and the DEV Web Interface. Redundant power supplies and optional signal recording support reliable operation in mission-critical SATCOM infrastructure.
