The Quintech RFS 2150 RF Sensing Redundancy Switch is a professional RF signal protection solution designed to maintain signal continuity by automatically switching from a primary RF signal to a backup source when the primary signal is lost. Operating across the 950–2150 MHz frequency range, this switch is ideal for satellite communication systems that require reliable signal availability, reduced downtime, and simplified maintenance. It is particularly suitable for unmanned facilities, satellite ground stations, and professional RF networks where uninterrupted service is essential.

With adjustable RF detection thresholds, front-panel manual override, and contact-closure alarm functionality, the RFS 2150 helps operators monitor and manage redundancy switching. An optional RS-232 interface enables remote control for compatible configurations, making it suitable for installations where direct access to equipment is limited.

Key Features

• Automatic RF Redundancy Switching: Switches to a secondary signal when the primary RF signal is lost.
• Wide L-Band Frequency Range: Supports 950–2150 MHz operation and signal detection.
• Adjustable Detection Threshold: RF detection level can be adjusted from -60 dBm to -20 dBm.
• Manual Override: Front-panel slide switch allows manual selection when required.
• Alarm Interface: Form C contact-closure alarm supports external monitoring systems.
• Optional Remote Control: RS-232 control is available for compatible configurations.
• Flexible System Configuration: Available in single or dual configurations.
• Optional LNB Power: Supports an optional 18–24 VDC LNB power configuration.
• Rack-Mount Design: Compact 1RU chassis fits standard 19-inch equipment racks.
• Reduced Maintenance Downtime: Supports scheduled maintenance and backup switching for compatible RF signal paths.

Applications

The Quintech RFS 2150 is designed for satellite communication and RF installations that require automatic backup switching between primary and secondary signal paths. Typical applications include:

• Satellite Ground Stations: Helps maintain signal availability when a primary RF path fails.
• Teleport Facilities: Supports redundancy for critical satellite signal chains.
• LNB and Converter Protection: Suitable for redundancy applications involving failed LNBs, upconverters, or downconverters.
• Unmanned Sites: Enables automatic backup switching at installations with limited on-site personnel.
• Fiber Link Redundancy: Supports 1:1 redundancy applications for compatible fiber links.
• Scheduled Maintenance: Allows operators to perform maintenance while using a backup signal path, where the system is configured appropriately.

Technical Specifications

Specifications may vary with connector type and configuration. Optional serial control and LNB power should be confirmed for the selected model.
