About
The Q BUC 25W Outdoor is a new generation BUC designed for outdoor operation, offering high gain and robust performance. It features internal self-protection against temperature (>75 ºC), input level, and reflected power. The unit provides M&C capabilities via RS-485/USB and Ethernet (upon request), allowing monitoring of input power, temperature, and summary alarms. Options include an Ethernet port, extended temperature range (-40 ºC to +60 ºC), monitoring of forward & reverse output power, redundant systems, a remote M&C panel, automatic control modes (AGC, ALC), an output RF calibrated sample port, and SNMP.
