IKtechcorp is the distributor for Agilis satellite, vsat communication products. LNB, BUC, Line Amplifier, Filter, Isolator, Unit Controller, RF

Agilis ALB 190 Series 40W C-Band BUC (Block-Up converter) is a highly cost effective outdoor RF transmitter for satellite communication. This small and lightweight BUC is ideal for mobile and satellite uplink applications. Designed to be mounted on the feed horn, the BUC has excellent efficiency and consumes less than 250W for 50W C-Band BUC. The unit works on a wide range DC power supply of 38V to 60V. The BUC is able to work up to 60ºC. Innovative and efficient thermal design makes this BUC one of the smallest, lightest and most reliable in the industry.

With redundancy-ready feature, the unit can be easily configured to work in 1:1 redundant mode
