Description
I.F. Engineering MC-8X32-LB1-F-2 L-Band Multi-Coupler 950-1450MHz 8x32 2U
Eight-input, thirty-two-output L-band signal distribution amplifier for satellite and microwave RF applications. Each of the 8 inputs is amplified and split to 4 outputs, providing 32 total outputs across the 950–1450 MHz frequency band.
Specifications & What's Included
- Frequency Range: 950–1450 MHz (L-Band)
- Configuration: 8 inputs × 32 outputs (8×4 split per input)
- Connectors: F-Type female
- Form Factor: 2U rackmount
- Power: 120V AC, 50/60 Hz; dual redundant Volgen SX100U-24S PSUs
- Includes: 8× AM-LB2-7 amplifier modules, 2× PD-4X16-LB2-F splitter modules
Applications
Multi-couplers of this type are used in satellite ground stations, SatCom earth terminals, and RF test environments for signal distribution and buffering. The L-band frequency range covers typical satellite IF (intermediate frequency) signals used in downlink reception and signal monitoring. Common in telecom infrastructure, broadcast satellite networks, and microwave test systems requiring multiple synchronized outputs from limited input sources.
This I.F. Engineering MC-8X32-LB1-F-2 L-Band multi-coupler has been inspected and is in good condition. It was powered on and confirmed to power up successfully. The unit was pulled from an active Microwave / RF / SatCom testing environment where it was previously in service. The gold-anodized chassis shows light surface wear consistent with rack use, and both front-panel power supply LED indicators (PS1 and PS2) are present and intact. All F-type input and output connectors are present and appear undamaged. The internal sub-components — 8x AM-LB2-7 amplifier modules, 2x PD-4X16-LB2-F splitter assemblies, and 2x Volgen SX100U-24S power supplies — are all present and seated.
