Actox ABD50NKX / ABD50NKXF 50W Ext. Ku-Band Block Up Converter
Actox ABD50NKX / ABD50NKXF 50W Ext. Ku-Band Block Up Converter
This smallest and lightest 50W L-To Low Ku-Band Block Up Converter is based on GaN technology. Incomparable low power consumption, double L.O., field-exchangeable connector, auto-sensing and controllable internal 10 MHz reference make this unit universal for any Ku-Band application.
Key Features
- Output frequency 13.75 - 14.50 GHz
- Double L.O. (switchable 12.80 & 13.05 GHz)
- Based on GaN technology which enables high efficiency, low power consumption and high reliability
- Incomparable low power consumption (259W max.)
- Auto-ranging powering option 86 - 240 VAC
- Digital temperature compensation
- Field-exchangeable (F/N) IF connector
- Amplifier, L.O. and 10 MHz Reference Status LEDs
- Internal auto-sensing and controllable 10MHz high stability reference (optional)
- M&C - combined RS-232/485/Ethernet (HTTP and SNMP) and optional FSK
- RoHS compliant
