1:1 Redundant Switch | Model 2040
The Model 2040 1:1 Redundant Switch from Global Foxcom provides RF protection switching for Sat-Light interfacility link products, including IF and L-Band product lines. Built for automatic or manual failover, it supports Apogee SNMP management, local override control, and reliable path switching from primary to redundant channels.
Features & Benefits
- DC to 2.9 GHz bandwidth
- Configurable RF and optical fault detection
- Adjustable RF loss threshold detection
- Locks to the redundant channel after switching
- Local override switch
- Supports 50 ohm and 75 ohm RF systems
Basic Details
Global Foxcom’s Gold Series Model 2040 supersedes the Model 2000 Switch and is backward compatible, integrating into existing systems while enabling operators to configure switching behavior for demanding Sat-Light interfacility link requirements. The Apogee SNMP Management system can set the switching state, remote or local, or the transmission path (A/B). If SNMP manager control is interrupted, users can return to local operation through the front-panel override switch. The Apogee manager graphically displays the active path, while operating channel detection is available through a rear-panel 3-pin Molex connector or through the chassis via the 9-pin connector. Redundant paths are configured using an RF splitter, Global Foxcom P/N 2X012, which sends the RF signal to two Sat-Light transmitter modules connected by single-mode fiber optic cable to two Sat-Light receivers. Each receiver connects to the Model 2040 through a supplied coaxial jumper cable before the unit sends the RF output signal to the end device.
