ETL Systems, a global designer and
manufacturer of RF distribution equipment for
satellite communications, has launched a new
Components Mounting System (CMS) as part of its new
line of RF equipment.
Designed with flexibility at its core, the 1U 19
inch chassis accommodates ETL's Scorpion range of
passive L-band two, four and eight-way passive
splitters and combiners in any combination, as
required by the operator. ETL’s in-house
engineering team have designed the CMS unit to be
versatile by giving users the choice to install the
same components, a mixture of all three, or anything
in between.
The first customers to select ETL’s CMS include a
prominent market leader in the oil and gas sector
and a large European broadcasting project with
multiple installation sites worldwide. The CMS
continues to gain popularity in other applications
including mobile VSAT, fixed satellite teleport and
earth station feeds.
“The Components Mounting System is particularly
ideal for VSAT transmit and receive applications
because of its flexibility to accommodate different
stacks and modules all within the one chassis,” said
Dominic Overton, Components Sales Executive, ETL
Systems. “The concept of the design was developed to
address our customer’s needs for equipment which
houses components in a compact and neat chassis. Our
compact design makes it the perfect solution for
sites where space is at a premium. Users no longer
need to have different mounting racks for each
splitter and combiner but can install a variety of
different components neatly in any combination they
wish, just with this one system.”
The release of the CMS is accompanied by other new
components products being made available by ETL.
Their huge range of RF components now includes Ku
and Wide band passive splitters and combiners, both
of which are available in two-way, four-way or
eight-way with 50Ω impedances and SMA connector
types, offering consistently excellent RF
performance.
“ETL is dedicated to constantly improving its huge
range of RF components and our latest products
enhance our offering even further,” said Andrew
Bond, Sales Director, ETL Systems. “With a quarter
of a century of experience in designing
award-winning RF equipment, including rack mount
systems and RF components, we can also custom design
and build products in the event that our ‘off the
shelf’ range does not meet a customer’s
specification.”
