IKUSI BAS-700 Base Plate for CLASS A Modules

Overview

The IKUSI BAS-700 is the base-plate of the IKUSI CLASS A modular headend family, providing mechanical mounting capacity for up to seven CLASS A modules. It is the foundation on which modular MATV and CATV headends are assembled — mixing amplifiers, processors, modulators, and receivers on one plate to build a distribution headend that matches the exact channel plan of the site. For engineering contractors and integrators, the BAS-700 turns a collection of individual RF modules into a clean, organized, serviceable headend.

Seven Star LLC supplies the IKUSI BAS-700 base-plate for headend projects across the Sultanate of Oman and the GCC. Hospitality complexes, residential compounds, hospitals, and commercial buildings rely on professional MATV and CATV distribution, and our team supports integrators with genuine IKUSI CLASS A hardware, technical documentation, and regional delivery to Muscat, Sohar, Salalah, and beyond.

Operating Principle

Professional headends are built from modular RF devices, each performing one function in the signal chain: receiving, processing, amplifying, or modulating. The CLASS A family organises these modules in a common mechanical format, and the BAS-700 base-plate holds up to seven of them in a single unit. The integrator selects the module combination required for the site — for example terrestrial and satellite receivers together with amplifiers and modulators — and mounts them on the plate to form the headend.

Because every CLASS A module shares the same mounting format, modules can be added, removed, or replaced without redesigning the headend. This modularity is what makes the CLASS A system economical for both small buildings and large community distribution networks: the same base-plate serves a hotel with a few channels and a residential compound with a full digital channel line-up.

Engineering Design of the IKUSI BAS-700

The BAS-700 is designed as a robust mounting plate sized for seven CLASS A modules. It provides the physical layout that keeps module spacing, cabling, and ventilation consistent, which matters for reliable long-term RF performance inside headend racks and cabinets. The plate integrates with the rest of the CLASS A range, including power supply units such as the CFP-900 that feed the modules.

Manufactured by IKUSI (Fagor Multimedia Solutions), the BAS-700 is identified by reference 4403 and EAN 8435136444039. Using genuine CLASS A plates and modules keeps the headend compliant with the system’s design rules and simplifies future expansion, since spare capacity on the plate is available for additional modules as the channel line-up grows.

Key Features

The IKUSI BAS-700 is specified for every professional headend build based on the CLASS A modular system. Its defining characteristics are:

• Mounting capacity for up to seven IKUSI CLASS A headend modules on a single plate.
• Part of the IKUSI CLASS A modular family, compatible with its full range of RF modules.
• Enables mixed module configurations — receivers, amplifiers, processors, and modulators in one headend.
• Tool-friendly mechanical design for fast assembly and straightforward module replacement.
• Clean, serviceable layout that simplifies cabling, testing, and future expansion.
• Genuine IKUSI (Fagor Multimedia Solutions) hardware, reference 4403, EAN 8435136444039.
• Suitable for MATV and CATV headends in hotels, hospitals, residential and commercial buildings.
• Supplied by Seven Star LLC for projects across Oman and the GCC.

Industrial Applications

The BAS-700 base-plate is used wherever a professional modular headend is required. In Oman and the GCC, the largest demand comes from the hospitality sector — hotels and resort complexes in Muscat and the coastal tourism areas need reliable multi-channel TV distribution to every guest room. Residential compounds, staff accommodation, hospitals, and commercial towers use the same CLASS A architecture to distribute terrestrial, satellite, and local TV channels over coaxial networks.

Seven Star LLC supports MATV and CATV integrators across the Sultanate of Oman and the GCC with the IKUSI BAS-700 and the complete CLASS A module range. We provide hardware on request, headend design guidance, and manufacturer documentation so that projects from Sohar to Salalah are built on documented components.

Technical Specifications

The following table summarises the key parameters of the IKUSI BAS-700 base-plate:

Mechanical Construction and Mounting Detail

IKUSI builds the BAS-700 from galvanised steel, which is the practical choice for a plate that has to carry seven powered RF modules for years inside a plant room or riser cupboard without flexing or corroding. The plate measures 441 × 257 × 24 mm overall and is drilled for wall fixing, and it carries three dedicated earthing points so that the headend chassis can be bonded properly to the building earth — a step the IKUSI installation guide treats as mandatory rather than optional, and one that matters for both lightning protection and RF noise performance on rooftop-fed systems.

Where a channel plan needs more than seven modules, BAS-700 plates are designed to be joined horizontally to extend the headend, with the reinforcement screws for that assembly supplied separately rather than in the box. For enclosed or semi-exposed installations the matching COF-700 housing (reference 4402), also galvanised steel and measuring 430 × 341 × 258 mm, fixes directly onto the base-plate to close the headend in. IKUSI also offers the SMR-601 rack support, which takes seven CLASS A modules for 19-inch rack builds, together with the PMR-601 fixing plate and OMR-601 blanking plate for covering unused module positions — useful accessories to quote alongside the IKUSI BAS-700 when a site is expected to grow.

Planning a CLASS A Headend with the BAS-700

Start the headend design from the channel plan: list the terrestrial and satellite channels to be distributed, then select the CLASS A receivers, amplifiers, processors, and modulators required to build that line-up. The BAS-700 holds seven modules, so combine functions on one plate where possible and keep spare capacity for later expansion. Power the plate from the CLASS A power supply unit such as the CFP-900, and contact our team for module selection guidance and a bill of materials for your project.
