FlexLink R25S – Advanced RF distribution Matrix for Extended L- to S-Band Applications (800–4000 MHz).
The FlexLink R25CS is a versatile, innovative, and compact RF distributive matrix, designed for high-performance signal routing in satellite, broadcast, test, and defense environments. Housed in a 5RU/19" rackmount chassis with just 500 mm depth, it supports fan-out/distributive configurations from 8:8 up to 64:64, available in both symmetric and asymmetric layouts.
Engineered with a wide frequency range (800–4000 MHz), the R25S goes beyond traditional L-Band, covering parts of the S-Band, making it ideally suited for Ka-Band gateways, HTS (High Throughput Satellites), S-band satellite links, radar systems, and RF test automation.
Its modular design allows flexible combinations of input/output connectors (50 Ohm SMA or BNC), enabling seamless future upgrades or integration into existing infrastructures.
Key features include:
The FlexLink R25S is a future-proof RF signal management solution for demanding applications in satellite communications, aerospace, defense, and RF laboratories—where flexibility, performance, and reliability are critical.
