About
The Q SSPA/BUC family utilizes cutting-edge and state-of-the-art technology to provide outstanding performance in a compact, weatherproof packaging for outdoor operation. It is designed for high reliability in harsh environmental and operational conditions, featuring robust performance guaranteed through individual unit testing over temperature at the factory and a built-in output isolator for protection against reflected power. Advanced packaging and cooling techniques enable operation in the toughest environments. It offers full Monitoring & Control (M&C) capability via RS-485/USB (ASCII commands) and an Ethernet port (Telnet, HTTP with embedded user-friendly web page or SNMP), along with discrete lines for mute and turn on/off functions and a summary alarm (form C relay and discrete) for speedy operation. Redundant configurations (1:1, 2:1, N:1) are supported.
