The NGM-101-XXXX Series from ETL Systems are Switch Matrices that operate from 850 to 2150 MHz. They have a distributive, non-blocking design and are available with up to 32 inputs and 32 outputs and any input can be connected to any output. These matrices have a switching time of less than 50 ms (from receipt of a command to implementation of path change) and provide isolation of up to 75 dB between any two ports.
The NGM-101-XXXX series of switch matrices have a capacitive touchscreen panel for local control and monitoring and include RJ45 Ethernet with SNMP and a web browser interface for remote control monitoring. They support self-diagnostics with continuous monitoring of amplifiers, CPUs, and PSUs. These resilient matrices have hot-swap single input and output RF cards and dual redundant power supplies and CPUs for minimal impact from failure. They are available in 6U high chassis with 50-ohm SMA/BNC or 75-ohm BNC/F-type connectors. These matrices are ideal for use in RF content acquisition for TVRO and IPTV head-ends, signal monitoring of satellite traffic, and remote-controlled unmanned SATCOM sites.
The matrices require an AC supply and consume 150 W of power.
