Newtec Azimuth Series AZ750 L-Band Combiner System
Combines up to 8 different L-band RF signals
AZ750 Series L-Band Combiner
This product has reached end of life and has been replaced by the Newtec FRC0750.
The AZ750 is an active L-band combiner designed to bring together multiple carriers in a single RF channel that equalizes the level of the incoming signals with each input having its own amplifier and attenuator.
The Newtec Azimuth Series AZ750 can also be used as an active switching device for signal routing purposes or redundancy switching operations. In its default configuration, the 750 combines up to 4 different L-band signals into one L-band signal. As an option it is possible to combine up to 8 different L-band signals within the same unit.
BUC Power
Optionally, a 24V DC power supply and a reference frequency are also available on the L-band output, providing a compact and cost effective solution when the AZ 750 is used in combination with an outdoor RF upconverter and/or amplifier.
This combiner can be delivered with an integrated block upconverter as option. In this configuration, the unit converts the L-band output signal of the combiner to C, Ku or DBS-band.
The AZ 750 is easy to operate and monitor. All control and monitoring parameters are available locally on the front panel and remotely through a web interface. It is also possible to control or monitor via RMCP or SNMP.
