Product details

The CPI SPKO14100N / SPKM14100N is a 100W Ku-Band outdoor SSPA in a NEMA 4X enclosure from CPI's SPK14xxxN line. It delivers 100W saturated and 80W minimum at 1 dB compression across 14.00–14.50 GHz (SPKM14100N) or the extended 13.75–14.50 GHz band (SPKO14100N).

Built on CPI's ModuMAX architecture with field-replaceable RF assemblies, it has 70 dB of gain with 20 dB of adjustment, a WR-75G waveguide output, and a power-factor-corrected 90–135 or 180–265 VAC supply drawing 900W typ., 1200W max. The weatherproof NEMA 4X enclosure mounts at the antenna hub or outdoors.

Order it as SPKO14100N-X / SPKM14100N-X; Option 7 adds an internal L-band block upconverter. The SPK14xxxN Series comes in 3 listed models; compare them on the series page.
