2408LPS-2

Standalone Dual-Port LNB Power Inserter

The 2408LPS-2 is a standalone dual port LNB power inserter in a high performance and compact platform for inserting DC power via coaxial cable to two LNBs. Can be mounted in the 2400ODU-8 with redundant power supplies.

On the RF input connectors, the module provides +13/+14/+18/+19V DC power and 22kHz tone generation, with low RF insertion loss along with 10MHz injection to LNB.

The 2408LPS-2 also features dynamic or static short circuit current protection; dynamic mode features continuous short circuit check and automatic recovery, while static mode disables DC voltage until a reset is performed. Both modes indicate the short circuit condition on card LEDs, WebGUI and SNMP/VistaLINK® PRO.

For outdoor applications, the 2408LPS-2 is available in a weatherproof (+WP) IP65-rated version, presenting an ideal solution for mounting on or near an antenna structure. The DC power input is via a F-type connector.

The 2408LPS-2 has an Ethernet control port for remote webpage access, along with SNMP support for remote monitoring and control via SNMP or VistaLINK® PRO software, such as LNB current and RF input power monitoring.

Features

  • Provide +13/+18V DC voltage with available +1V DC cable compensation for long cable runs
  • 10MHz injection and Bias'ed with DC voltage to LNB
  • 22kHz tone generation is available on both ports for LNB control
  • DC voltage level and 22kHz tone generation are independently controllable at each port
  • Dynamic or static short circuit current protection
  • RF power and LNB current monitoring with adjustable thresholds when using remote control
  • +WP version provides IP65 dust and water protection for mounting outdoors without a supplemental enclosure
  • Local monitoring and control is available through comprehensive LED indicators and dial control
