The RFL PLC Hybrid Pro™ system is a modular system supporting a wide range of hybrid modules contained in 1RU chassis design for use with 10-watt PLC transceivers. The available hybrid modules and include; Balanced, Skewed, Splitter, Splitter/Combiner and Bypass hybrid types. These hybrid module designs include several new features and enhancements over previous generation hybrid modules.
Single-card Module Design - Each hybrid module is now a single card eliminating the need for front and rear modules and mating connectors.
Front BNC Test Points - BNC type test points are now provided on the front of the hybrid module to eliminate the need for adapters when connecting PLC signal metering devices.
Improved Port Labeling - Both front and rear BNC ports have revised labeling, specific to the hybrid type, for easy port identification. Rear port labeling also includes expected hybrid signal loss information for simple understanding of expected signal levels.
Convenient Reflected Power Meter Connections - The Skewed hybrid includes a reflected power meter test function eliminating the need to interrupt the circuit during testing. The feature is also optional on the Balanced hybrid, for TX only applications.
Space-Saving Hybrid Configurations - Commonly, multiple hybrid modules are required for Splitter/Combiner and Bypass hybrid functions. Hybrids are now available as a single-card module, occupying only a single slot. As a result, only one hybrid chassis is needed for most applications, even for dual-phase coupled systems.
