The iDirect 4W Universal Ku-Band BUC is ideal for networks requiring higher power and faster transmission speeds as well as in regions subject to heavy rain fade.

The exceptionally low weight of the BUC, when paired with the appropriate LNB, conforms within the maximum weight limit of a Class 1 antenna.

The iDirect portfolio of advanced BUCs and LNBs is specifically tailored around the capabilities of iNFINITI® and Evolution® satellite routers, creating synergies that deliver increased flexibility, efficiency, and convenience through genuine innovations in ODU design and manufacturing.

Universal Design

BUCs feature standard plus extended Ku-band uplink range, covering 13.75 – 14.5 GHz contiguously. PLL LNBs can be used for all three Ku-band downlink sub-bands of Euro Low, Americas & Euro High (10.7 – 12.75 GHz), switched across two L-band ranges through DiSEqC (22KHz tone) control by an Evolution remote or user selected via a mechanical switch.

Power Efficiency

iDirect’s ODU products are more power efficient than alternative products, which reduces power consumption and carbon emissions, as well as easing deployments of remotes supplied by solar and other restricted power sources.

Compact and Lightweight

Improved power efficiency results in smaller heat sinks to cool ODU electronics. iDirect’s 3W Universal BUC occupies only a fraction of the volume of equivalent products and weighs just 350g. This results in less weight and wind-loading on antenna feed-arms and means that low-cost lightweight ‘Class 1’ antennas can be used with greater confidence.
