DEV 215x Redundant L-Band Distribution Amplifiers, 800-2450 MHz

DEV 215x Redundant L-Band Distribution Amplifiers, 800-2450 MHz

The DEV 215x Series Redundant L-Band Distribution Amplifiers provide high-availability 1:8, dual 1:8 or 1:16 active RF signal distribution for satellite ground stations, teleports, broadcast facilities and mission-critical L-band networks. Available models include the DEV 2152, DEV 2153 and DEV 2155.

Each model combines redundant amplifiers and redundant power supplies in a compact 19-inch, 1 RU chassis. Operating across the extended 800-2450 MHz frequency range, the series also provides variable gain, variable 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 using SMA, BNC or precision F female connectors. Ethernet connectivity enables remote control and monitoring through SNMP and the DEV Web Interface, with optional signal recording for performance analysis and external data storage.
