Research's new version of its MuxTee is really
a six in one combination all-purpose tool.
It may not slice and dice, but it will act
as a Diplexer (combining a 10 MHz
reference signal and L-Band output into one
feed to an LNB or BUC), or as a BiasTee
(inserting and filtering external DC to the
L-Band signal for the LNB or BUC), or as a
MuxTee (that combines
the external DC insertion of a BiasTee with
the ability to multiplex an inserted 10 MHz
reference source of a
Diplexer). That accounts for three
functions - if the Diplexer / BiasTee / Multiplexer
is reversed, it can be used to extract the 10 MHz
reference, or DC power, or both.
In addition, it comes in standard
and high power versions.
In its
function as a MuxTee the MT25/40 Mux/Tee integrates
the L-band and DC filters of the BT-1 Bias Tee
with a 10 MHz Lowpass filter and an optional 20 MHz
notch filter to multiplex a 10 MHz external
reference oscillator signal to your LNB or
transmitter. What previously took a
mixed bag of separate components is now available in
an integrated bandpass-filtered and
power-conditioned one-box solution ready for 'Back O
Rack' mounting.
The unused connectors do not need to
be terminated and are 'O' ring sealed.
Just
as a chain depends on it's weakest link, the
integrity of your signal depends on every component
through which it passes; bit do you consider your
bias tee as part of that system? Every
satellite signal you receive must go through your
bias tee. Does your Bias Tee have the best
loss, tilt, ripple, VSWR, filtering and port to port
isolation available?
