L-band Matrix - 8 x 16 M0816D2UFL-21161

ETL has a broad L-band Switch Matrix and L-band Router range for Satellite communications, including the hot-swap NiGMa L-band Matrix which is used for many high resilience high performance applications.

This smaller range of distributive L-band Matrix comes in a variety of size configurations which are generally linked to original design applications. The 2U 8x8 L-band Matrix and 3U 16x16 L-band Matrix are standard building blocks for most applications with dual redundant PSU's, a CPU and local control panel. Remote control is via serial or Ethernet.

More specialist is the 8x24 L-band Router is 4U and optimised for asymmetric dual antenna cruise ship matrices. Likewise the 8x16 (2U) and 4x8 (2U) and 1U SNG truck matrices are designed for specific applications.

While some of the L-band matrix products in this range have hot-swap power supplies, please see our Hot Swap Matrix range for matrices with hot swap of RF modules, CPU's and PSU's.

Non-blocking: this means any input can be routed to any output.

In general our solid state (L-band) matrices are non-blocking.

Full Fan-out Matrix (or fully distributive or splitting matrix): any input can be routed to any output. One input can be routed to many outputs. Each output can only have one input. Tends to be more RX.
