Evertz RF routers switch L-band, IF and other RF signals across a teleport or headend without degrading them. The range runs from the 1RU XRF1A (8x8 or 16x16) and XRU1 (16x32 fan-in/fan-out) to the 4RU XRU4 (up to 64x128), the modular XRF6 (32x64 to 512x512) and the 14RU XPRF (128x128 and up). Options include LNB power with 22 kHz control, direct fiber inputs and built-in spectrum analyzers, with control by panel, web GUI, SNMP or VistaLINK. The CP-2116E panel provides hardware crosspoint control.

Frequently asked questions
How big a router do I need?
Count your antennas/LNB feeds and receivers today and plan for growth: the XRF1A and XRU1 suit small sites, the XRU4 covers up to 64x128 in 4RU, and the XRF6 and XPRF scale to hundreds of ports. Digisat can lay out the system with splitters and fiber.
Need it installed, aligned or supported?
