2406BIAST-2 Series

Dual Channel Bias Tee Platform

Interact with this product in a Layout Tool:

The 2406BIAST-2 is a high-performance dual-channel bias tee platform, suitable for satellite downlink and uplink applications. Available in a compact and mountable form-factor, the 2406BIAST-2 can be mounted inside of Evertz' 2400ODU-8 outdoor enclosure or directly on or near the antenna structure with the IP-65 rated weatherproof option (+WP).

Typical applications are seen when the downstream device of the LNB or upstream device of the BUC is not capable of supplying 10MHz reference and/or DC power to the LNB or BUC.

The 2406BIAST-2 platform is available in two versions to suit a wide range of applications. The '-LNB' version (2406BIAST-2-LNB) is an active device that receives power from an external power supply (+PS or 2400PSUA-8), whereas the standard version (2406BIAST-2) is a passive device that will pass-through DC power from the downstream device to power the LNB (e.g. Evertz RF fiber transmitter). Both versions offer external 10MHz reference input for injection into the LNB or BUC.

Features

  • Compact, mountable form factor
  • Weatherproof IP-65 rated option (+WP)
  • Dual channel to support two LNBs or BUCs
  • 22kHz tone on/off NB local oscillator control, DiSEqC protocol (-LNB version only)
  • External DC input for a current up to 1000mA (-LNB version only)
  • Passive device for high reliability (-LNB version only)
