IF Matrix 16 x 16 M1616D3UFI-21157-xxxx-A

16 Inputs x 16 Outputs Distributive IF Matrix with local and remote control (Via RJ45 Ethernet and RS232/422/485 Serial Ports) and +10 dBm Gain Compression Point.

The unit is housed in a 3U high x 450mm deep x 19" wide shelf and is available in the impedances and connector types shown below.

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

This smaller range of distributive IF Matrix comes in a variety of size configurations which are generally linked to original design applications. The 2U 8x8 IF Matrix and 3U 16x16 IF 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 the 8x24 IF 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 IF 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.
