For Head-end / Hub-site Signal Monitoring and RF Switch Control
Achieve system reliability using the RFSD-2XA to monitor your RF signal feeds. Configurable to work with multiple frequency bands and several analog and digital signal modulation types, for CATV, VHF / UHF Terrestrial Off-Air, and Satellite applications.
The RFSD-2XA utilizes new versatile VTP (Variable Tuning Platform) technology to satisfy today’s monitoring needs and those in the future. Monitor single or multiple channels, on primary and backup signal feeds.
The RFSD-2XA detects complete signal outage, or degrading amplitude/quality parameters. Signal thresholds and alarm settings are easily programmed. Order with switches to fit your application needs.
Signal Monitoring Applications:
• Outage or degradation detection
