The REM1000 is an RF switch that is used with the APEX1000 edge QAM to support RF port level redundancy.
The REM1000 enables RF port redundancy across two separate APEX1000 units by providing automatic RF signal routing in the event of a failure of a single RF port in either attached APEX1000 unit. This eliminates the need to change physical RF wiring if an APEX RF port fails.
Features
Physical Chassis
- 1 RU chassis with 12 input ports, 10 RF output ports, 3 Fast Ethernet interfaces and an RS-232 Console Port
- Available with either an AC or DC power supply
RF Wiring
- 12 physical RF input ports allowing the REM1000 to receive RF inputs from up to 2 separate APEX units (6 RF ports per APEX)
- Each APEX provides 5 primary RF inputs and 1 backup RF input; the REM1000 then provides 10 RF outputs (5 per APEX unit) at the output
RF Port Level Redundancy
- Protects against APEX RF module failure (across 2 connected APEX units)
- Eliminates need to rewire RF cables if APEX RF module fails
- Each APEX provides up to 5 primary RF outputs (up to 40 channels) when redundancy is enabled
- REM1000 switch supports two APEX1000 units
- 6 RF inputs per APEX, 6th RF input is redundant
- REM1000 is not single point of failure (failed REM is passive so RF signal continues to pass through)
- Provides multiple modes of control
- Direct Connect—each APEX1000 connected directly to dedicated REM1000 interface
- Common Connect—each APEX1000 connected through QAM&P hub to REM1000 QAM&P interface
