Product details
The CPI MPXB8700Q is a 700W X-Band modular SSPA system from CPI's QuadMod line. It delivers 700W typical saturated (+58.5 dBm) and 560W minimum at 1 dB compression (+57.5 dBm) across the 7.900–8.400 GHz X-band.
Based on CPI's ModuMAX technology, it uses hot-swappable RF modules, power supplies and electronic assemblies in a 7 RU RF unit with a 3 RU power supply. It runs on 180–264 VAC single or three phase, drawing 3.5 kW typ., 4.6 kW max. (cold start at 0 °C, saturated), with 65 dB min., 72 dB max. gain and 20 dB of digital adjustment.
Order it as MPXB8700Q; rack integration, spares, maintenance switch and air-duct kits are ordered separately. The QuadMod Series comes in 7 listed models; compare them on the series page.
