RFL 9508 DSP Powerline Carrier System

Product Description

The RFL 9508D UCC Powerline Carrier System comprises two integrated subsystems that consist of a highly integrated fully digital PLC terminals that incorporates the latest Digital Signal Processing technology (DSP) along with a unique digital packetizing multiplexer that integrates voice, data, multiple T1 or E1 data ports, and IP traffic over the digital power line carrier link.

The RFL 9508D UCC offers a choice of two power output levels, and a wide range of options that also include plug-in teleprotection modules to complete an integrated communication system design.

The system is capable of Drop and Insert operation at the T1/E1 level. These features make for a unique product that integrates power line carrier sub-networks into large corporate WANs.

The equipment is designed to operate in the harsh environment of electric utility substations and is based on the successful and proven RFL IMUX 2000 T1/E1 multiplexer where thousands are in use around the world.

Key Features and Benefits

  • Integrate high quality voice and multiple channels of variable rate data traffic across a reliable narrow band power line carrier link.
  • Use as a digital link between a power line and any existing or new digital network of any protocol.
  • 50 or 100 Watt PEP output power.
  • Programmable from 20kHz – 500 kHz frequency range with no components to change in the field.
  • Use to extend a WAN to a remote location over the power line.
