Product details

The CPI CPKO1435SB / CPKM1435SB is a 35W Ku-Band compact SSPB (solid-state power block upconverter) from CPI's CPKO/CPKM14xxSB line. It delivers 35W saturated, 27.5W minimum at 1 dB compression and 20W minimum linear power across 14.00–14.50 GHz (CPKM1435SB) or the extended 13.75–14.50 GHz band (CPKO1435SB).

The integrated block upconverter takes an L-band input and uses an internal OCXO that can phase-lock to an external 10 MHz reference. The 7.5 lb weatherized package has an integral heatsink and fan, runs on 20–56 VDC (215W typ., 260W max.), and is monitored and controlled over RS-232/-422/-485, with a WR-75G flange (standard) or Type N female output.

Order it as CPKO1435SB-XX / CPKM1435SB-XX: the suffix selects the output connector and the white, green or tan finish. The CPKO/CPKM14xxSB Series comes in 3 listed models; compare them on the series page.
