L-Band RF Switch Matrix 17×16 | BMM-1716

BLANKOM BMM-1716

The cost-effective SAT-MATRIX BLANKOM BMM-1716 is equipped with a Web-Interface which can be operated by a normal browser via an Ethernet IP connection – also remotely to flexibly adjust and select every SAT-Input-port (incl. terrestrial pathway) to any of the 16 output ports to be routed or multiplied.

With the inbuilt RF-level monitoring circuit, the user always gets the qualitative information about the signal and displayed in the web-interface. In parallel, the LNB powering is monitored and shown.

This Matrix comes with dual redundant power supplies for securing the highest reliability.

This high-performance matrix operates fully autonomous and has been designed for modern 1RU 19’’ rack installations.

BLANKOM BMM-1716 RF Matrix is ideal equipment for a flexible SAT+Terrestrial distribution as a Headend-Input selection from max 4 SAT-positions.

Even useful by using several units for the pre-selection of more than 4 SAT positions (incl. DVB-T/T2) to active or passive distribution equipment like splitter/taps or cascadable Multiswitch devices, it allows a flexible combination as well for an almost complex SAT/T network serving multiple Signal-Input combinations.

L-Band RF Switch Matrix, 16 Sat-IF in, 16 Sat-IF out

 

The highly compact BLANKOM BMM-1716 (Satellite) L-Band Switch Matrix is equipped with a Web-Interface that can be operated by a conventional browser via an Ethernet IP connection. Furthermore, it can be operated remotely to easily adjust and select every SAT-Input-port (including terrestrial pathway) to any of the 16 output ports to be routed or multiplied. With the inbuilt RF-level monitoring circuit, the user always gets qualitative information about the signal, which is displayed in the web interface. In parallel, the LNC powering is monitored and shown. This matrix features dual redundant power supplies to ensure the highest reliability.

This high-performance L-Band matrix switch is fully autonomous and has been specifically designed for contemporary 1RU 19” rack installations. The BLANKOM BMM-1716 SAT/T(2) matrix switch is ideal equipment for a flexible satellite/terrestrial distribution as a headend input selection from max 4 satellite positions. It is also useful for pre-selection of more than four SAT positions (including DVB-T/T2) to active or passive distribution equipment like splitter/taps or cascadable Multiswitch devices. This allows for a flexible combination of SAT/Terrestrial networks serving multiple signal inputs.
