Product details
The CPI PXB8S050LA is a 50W X-Band antenna-mount SSPA from CPI's PXB8SxxxLA line. It delivers 50W saturated and 45W minimum at 1 dB compression across the 7.90–8.40 GHz X-band uplink.
This antenna-mount unit has 70 dB of gain with 20 dB of adjustment, a CPR-112G waveguide output and a power-factor-corrected 100–242 VAC supply drawing 375W typ., 500W max. Options add an internal block upconverter for a 950–1450 MHz L-band input (Option 7) and 1:1 redundancy capability (Option 4).
Order it as PXB8S050LA-XX; the suffix adds the redundancy and block upconverter options. The PXB8SxxxLA Series comes in 4 listed models; compare them on the series page.
