U 159: Ultra-dense IP to QAM modulation

Based on the U 100 head-end series, the U 159-x IP to QAM module offers ultra-dense QAM modulation for cable TV networks with sophisticated features. The unique architecture of the U 100 head-end series enables highest density with highest reliability for professional technical environments. Hard- and software based redundancy mechanisms are developed in close connection with our customers to meet the requirements for any operator!
While the U 159, U 159-S and U 159-D are plugin modules for U 100 base units, the U 159-O was designed with hardened components for outdoor street cabinet applications even at higher temperatures. It has all features of our well known U 159 module, capable of converting up to 64 QAM carriers out of the IP inputs. All connections and control elements are available from the front of a 19 inch housing, as also is the connector for local DC powering.
