The 500DA-AESU is a nine output reclocking and auto equalizing DA for unbalanced 75Ω AES signals. The DA automatically equalizes up to 1500m of Belden 1694A coax and provides reclocked outputs with sampling frequencies of 32kHz, 44.1kHz, 48kHz, and 96kHz. The 500DA-AESU card edge LED indicators provide quick and accurate assessment of the incoming signal integrity.

The 500DA-AESU is housed in the 3RU 500FR Exponent frame that will hold up to 16 modules.

Features
