L-band Matrix 128x128 Model VCN-10-xxxx

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 has a module capacity of 128 inputs x 128 outputs, housed in a 16U 19" rack enclosure.

All active components are hot-swap - 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.

Up to 32 inputs x 32 outputs we would recommend the NiGMa matrix which has a full capacity of 32 inputs x 32 outputs, but can be supplied part-populated, and expanded in single increments. Multiple modules can be joined together to make systems such as 32 inputs x 16 outputs.

Up to 64 inputs x 64 outputs we would recommend the Vortex matrix which has a full capacity of 64 inputs x 64 outputs, but can be populated in increments of 16.

Up to 128 inputs x 128 outputs we would recommend the Vulcan matrix which has a full capacity of 128 inputs x 128 outputs, but can be populated in increments of 8.
