FlexLink R25C Combining Matrix From RF-Design GmbH

RF-Design has consistently expanded its Matrix series and now offers the new Combining Matrix for the Extended L-Band with 64 inputs and 64 outputs in just 5RU.

The FlexLink R25C represents an unique, innovative & clever Ext. L-Band Combining Matrix, built into a 5RU/19" rack mount chassis with only 500mm depth. It comes as fan-in/combining system enabling to switch/route various inputs to a dedicated output. The 5RU/19” chassis can be assembled with various input/output configurations from 8:8 to 64:64 (symmetrically & unsymmetrically).

The FlexLink R25C Combining Matrix system is a future proof solution coming with widened bandwidth supporting the extended L-Band (850 – 2450MHz) frequency range making it a perfect solution also for KA-Band and HTS applications. The flexible modular design makes it possible to mix the input and output connectors with various connector types (50Ohm SMA or BNC) giving the operator flexibility for future expansions.

The FlexLink R25C features variable gain control and rf-power monitoring as well. Furthermore, it supports status monitoring of all active components and comes with a 1:1 redundant dual power supply (hot-swappable) and optionally with redundant controller.

Beyond its state-of-the-art and unique mechanical concept, all the functionalities and options the FlexLink R25C also assures superior and stable RF performance at the highest quality level.
