It converts 950–1825 MHz to 5.85–6.725 GHz with a 4.90 GHz LO, and the modules lock automatically to an external 5 or 10 MHz reference or fall back to a high-stability internal reference.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eConverter modules, dual power supplies, logic card and touchscreen hot-swap from the front panel, and in a redundant system the backup switches in automatically on loss of lock or a module fault. Output P1dB is +15 dBm minimum, gain is adjustable over 25 dB in 0.1 dB steps, and the 2 RU chassis has SNMP, HTTPS and serial control.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOrder it as MBC-2 UCBX-X; the suffix selects Type N (standard) or SMA rear-panel connectors.
