Orbital Design
Orbital 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 Bias Tee, the MT25/40 injects and filters external DC to the LNB while providing exceptionally low thru loss and high-pass filtering of the L-band signal. 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; but 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?

Mechanical Drawing
The Orbital MT25/40 Mux Tee is built for indoor mounting back-o-rack, but its 'O' ring sealed connectors and corrosion protection due to its Allodyne finish, also allow for outdoor use. This product may be used in its standard orientation, (as shown), or in reversed position - to extract, rather than insert 10 MHz signals and DC current.

| Modem has DC power, but not enough to power my new BUC. | |
| I want to lock several modems to a single 10 MHz Oscillator, and insert high power DC to my BUC. | |
| I have a pair of modems, one of which provides a 10 MHz reference, but I don't have enough power from my modem for my new high power BUC. | |
| I have a pair of modems and I need to use the 10 MHz reference from one of them and split it. I need to take the L-Band signal from both modems and combine it with the 10 MHz reference. Now I need to insert DC power for a pair of high power BUCS. | |
| I need to combine the L-Band signals from a pair of modems with an common, external 10 MHz source, and insert power to a pair of high power BUCs. | |
| My modem does not have sufficient DC to power my BUCs, and I can't switch DC power to the BUC, what to do? | |
| We need a system that will provide us with both horizontal and vertical polarities at Ku Band. In addition, the system must offer 1 for 2 redundancy. | |

Each connector type has an impedance of either 50 or 75 ohms. Orbital uses 1 of 4 distinct boards to achieve the appropriate impedance transform:
- V1 - 50Ω to LNB/BUC, 50Ω to Rx/modem
- V2 - 75Ω to LNB/BUC, 50Ω to Rx/modem
- V3 - 75Ω to LNB/BUC, 75Ω to Rx/modem
- V4 - 50Ω to LNB/BUC, 75Ω to Rx/modem
International customers should note that pricing does not include freight, brokerage, local VAT, and customs charges. Prices from our dealers in your area usually include these amounts.
The Orbital MT25/40 is a Bias Tee (and a Diplexer, and a Mux Tee...)
Orbital MT25/40 Mux Tees function as Bias Tees (inserting DC power into the combined signal), as Diplexers (inserting 10 MHz into the combined signal), and as Mux/Tees inserting both DC power and 10 MHz reference). The MT25/40 will also act as a DC block on the combined input port - thus allowing DC to be inserted. It can also act as a low-loss impedance transform, depending on which connector combinations are chosen.
MT25/40's also work in both directions - in reverse position they can extract L-Band or 10 MHz signals.
The MT25/40 has less than 0.5 dB of insertion loss and filters and conditions its incoming signals. It is the fundamental component of Orbital's signal routing solutions.
