L-band Matrix 128 x 128 Vulcan
128 Inputs x 128 Outputs Distributive Hot-swap Vulcan L-band Matrix.
ETL has a broad L-band Switch Matrix and L-band Router range for Satellite communications, including the hot-swap Vulcan L-band Matrix which is used for many high resilience high performance applications.
The Vulcan L-band Matrix is housed in a 16U 19" rack enclosure. It has a module capacity of 128 inputs x 128 outputs, but can be part populated to any size, such as those shown below.
A variety of impedances and connector types are available.
The Vulcan L-band Matrix has hot swap of all active components - RF cards, CPU's and PSU's. In addition the Vulcan L-band Matrix has the designed-in resilience provided by dual redundant CPU's, and dual redundant PSU's.
The Vulcan L-band Matrix also has extensive on-board monitoring - and reporting - of RF card amplifier status, CPU and PSU status and HMI communications.
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.
