System Interface Products (SIP)
M & C Channel
Orbital Research introduces a System Interface Product (SIP) that adds a data channel capability to our conventional Mux/Tee design. The MT 433 and the MT 433 Modem enable M & C information to be transmitted between the indoor and the outdoor unit multiplexed with DC, reference, and L-band IF signals. This eliminates the need for separate M & C cable connections. Retrofitting of legacy systems is enabled over the existing IFL, resulting in the requirement of no new cables, no trenching, and no civils costs.
The Orbital solution is a modular plug and play system that enables the modulation of any M & C signal scheme by the Orbital MT433 Modem onto the existing IFL without noise or interference of any kind through the 433 MHz channel of the MT 433 Mux/Tee. Any system sensor that accepts digital inputs and outputs can be connected to the MT 433 for communication between the IDU and the ODU. This can include sensors for temperature, lock, gain functions, antenna position and control, redundant switch control and status, and even a talk-back channel if needed for verbal communication with technicians at the dish.
MT 433 Mux/Tees have all of the standard features of Orbital Mux/Tees, which include multiplexing or extraction of L-band, 10 MHz reference, and DC power.

 Using a Hi Power Thru Tee to power a BUC |
Modem has DC power, but not enough to power my new BUC. |
| 4 Way Combiner with 10 MHz Oscillator and Hi Power DC insert. |
I want to lock several modems to a single 10 MHz Oscillator, and insert high power DC to my BUC. |
| Orbital 2-way Combiner using 10 MHz from one of the modems and Hi Power Mux/Tee to insert DC power |
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. |
| Orbital Combiner/Divider stripping out the 10MHz from only one of two modems |
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. |
| Orbital Combiner/Divider using a MOS 10 MHz Oscillator |
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. |
| Using an Orbital Hi Power Thru Tee to circumvent a divider or switch |
My modem does not have sufficient DC to power my BUCs, and I can't switch DC power to the BUC, what to do? |
| Horizontal/Vertical Polarity 1 for 2 Redundant System |
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. |
