The Quintech Electronics QE3 2500 L-band and IF Router features a compact 64 x 64 RF matrix in 6 RU. The QE3 L-band and IF Router features a compact 64 x 64 RF matrix in 6 RU. The QE3 is a full fan-out, non-blocking RF L-band Matrix Switch where any input can be routed to any or all ouputs. Its operating frequency range covers both IF 50-200 MHz and L-band 950-2150 MHz.

Fully Scalable
The QE3 is highly scalable and can easily be expanded to a 1024 x 1024. Hot-swappable component cards enable fast and easy replacement without any special tools or disconnecting any cables. The hot swappable control cards, which operate independently & simultaneously, offer the highest level of redundancy in control. The dual hot swappable power supply provides redundancy in powering. The RF level at the inputs and outputs is monitored to facilitate trouble shooting network interfaces. The programmable automatic gain control (AGC) and attenuation on all inputs allows the user to adjust input signal level for optimum performance.

Features
Q-ROUTE – Provides Internal Signal Path Redundancy by Automatically Re-routing Around a Failed Signal Path

Q-SENSE – Provides External Signal Path Redundancy by Automatic Switching of Back-up Input Signals

In today's complex telecommunication networks, the QE3 Routing Switch offers the best in reliability and flexibility to manage multiple RF signals.
Touch Screen Interface & Embedded Web Browser Software
