SLM128 SLM128Xi modular matrix 64x128 L-Band matrix system

System
SLM128X(i)

The SLM128X is a modular L-Band (850-2450MHz) switching system that can be configured for Fan-OUT (SLM128X) or Fan-IN (SLM128Xi) signal routing, and up to 64x128 (FO) or 128x64 (FI) in a single 4RU unit. Multiple units can be cascaded  to support expansion to largert configuratiojns by adding more hardware to the configuration.

Field configurable from a small 8x8 to as large as a 64x128 (Fan-OUT), it is designed to replace using multiple units to configure a system of this size. The input and output axis can be populated in single 8-channel increments independently as needed.

Our technical staff can help configure the exact system for your specific application.

    • Applications

    Our SLM128 (SLM128X) is designed to automate connectivity of L-Band or wideband signals (including IF, P-Band, and L-Band) in applications such as ground stations.

    Rather than using patch cords and multi-couplers, the following installations may benefit from use of this product:

  • Satellite ground stations
  • Uplink or downlink control signals
  • Teleport and last mile installations
  • Communication centers
  • Satellite installations
  • Specialized security installations
  • Modem Tx and Rx connectivity and encryption

    Fan-OUT or Fan-IN: 850-2450MHz

    Detailed Description

    Our new SLM128X delivers the latest in L-Band switching technology in our largest format to date. The new modular design eliminates multi-couplers and patch cords to provide configurations this large. A single chassis can provide from a small 8x8 to as large as a 64x128 in the Fan-OUT version, or 128x64 in the Fan-IN combining version. 

    This design allows isolated failure capability. Should an I/O blade experience a damaging signal or a rare failure, it will only affect that individual blade and no more that a bank of 8-channels.

    The Fan-OUT SLM128X (distributive)  version can be populated with up to eight 8-input blades for a total of 64 inputs, and sixteen 8-output blades for a total of 128 inputs.The Fan-IN SLM128Xi (combiner) version can be populated with up to sixteen 8-input blades for a total of 128 inputs, and eight 8-output blades for a total of 64 outputs.   

    The large front panel includes a touchscreen display with menu driven operation. The screen may be pass-code locked to prevent unintentional operation. The unit can be configured with one or two (full redundant) hot-swappable plug-in control CPUs.

    Each CPU includes an LXI 10/100/1G Ethernet port (with web browser), a multi-serial control port (RS-232/422/485) and a microSD memory slot for high security installations. Self-monitoring hot-swap plug-in power supplies are standard with an independent and redundant design. The unit has independent dual AC power inputs designed for any international AC power source. A third supply can be added for redundant LNB powering if required. The LNB option can also be used to power our single-port FiberSTIK fiber-optic receivers. The unit is also compatible with RouteWarePRO control software.
