The XRF1A is an RF signal routing matrix for L-Band and IF satellite communications and other signals. Housed in a compact 1RU chassis and available in 8x8 or 16x16 matrix sizes, the XRF1A is a full-featured routing matrix with automatic or manual gain control and RF power meters on each input channel, as well as optional LNB power supplies. Advanced capabilities, such as salvos allow multiple matrix path changes with the push of a button.
The XRF1A features optional built-in and remote control panels for crosspoint control and system configuration. Additionally, this flexible routing matrix can be controlled, configured and monitored via serial control, SNMP control over Ethernet, Evertz® X-NCP2 panel, CP-22xxxE series control panels, VistaLINK® or other third party control software.
The XRF1A 16x16 is scalable up to four units by connecting multiple frames in conjunction with Evertz® SRF series passive RF splitters/combiners, which provide matrix expansion without compromising system reliability.
