IKUSI CFP-900 Power Supply Unit for CLASS A Headends

Overview

The IKUSI CFP-900 is the power supply unit of the IKUSI CLASS A modular headend system, delivering stable 12 V DC power to CLASS A modules mounted on the headend base-plate. Designed for a wide 100 to 240 V AC mains input and rated to deliver 12 V DC at 9 A to the CLASS A modules, the CFP-900 provides the high current required by professional headend racks while offering auxiliary outputs for external elements such as preamplifiers and LNBs. It is the component that keeps the whole modular headend alive: receivers, amplifiers, processors, and modulators all draw their supply from this unit.

Seven Star LLC supplies the IKUSI CFP-900 power supply for MATV and CATV headend projects across the Sultanate of Oman and the GCC. Hotels, hospitals, residential compounds, and commercial buildings depend on professional TV 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

Headend modules are active RF devices and need a clean, regulated DC supply to operate reliably. The CFP-900 is a switch-mode supply that converts a 100 to 240 V AC, 50/60 Hz mains input to a regulated 12 V DC rail and distributes it to the CLASS A modules through the headend structure, at better than 85 per cent conversion efficiency. Its high current capacity is what distinguishes it from small plug supplies: a fully populated base-plate of seven modules can draw several amperes, and the CFP-900 is rated to support that load without voltage sag.

The unit also provides auxiliary outputs for external elements that belong to the distribution chain but are not mounted on the plate — typically mast preamplifiers and satellite LNBs. This centralises powering of the complete reception and distribution system, eliminating multiple small wall adapters and improving reliability and serviceability of the installation.

Engineering Design of the IKUSI CFP-900

The CFP-900 is engineered for continuous duty inside headend cabinets, where heat and long operating hours are normal. It is identified by reference 4492 and EAN 8435136444923 and is fully integrated with the CLASS A family, connecting mechanically and electrically to the same base-plate system that carries the RF modules.

By supplying both the modules and the external reception elements from one unit, the CFP-900 simplifies headend wiring and commissioning. Installers connect one mains feed, and the complete headend — modules, preamps, and LNBs — is powered from a single, documented supply point. This also simplifies maintenance planning, because spare stock needs only one power supply type for the whole headend.

Key Features

The IKUSI CFP-900 is specified wherever a professional CLASS A headend needs dependable central power. Its defining characteristics are:

• Power supply unit for the IKUSI CLASS A modular headend family.
• Wide 100 to 240 V AC, 50/60 Hz switch-mode mains input with a regulated 12 V DC output rated at 9 A for CLASS A modules.
• High current capacity for fully populated headend base-plates.
• Auxiliary outputs for external elements such as preamplifiers and LNBs.
• Centralised powering of modules and reception equipment from one mains feed.
• Designed for continuous duty inside professional headend cabinets.
• Genuine IKUSI (Fagor Multimedia Solutions) hardware, reference 4492, EAN 8435136444923.
• Supplied by Seven Star LLC for MATV and CATV projects across Oman and the GCC.

Industrial Applications

The CFP-900 powers CLASS A headends in the same installations that use the BAS-700 base-plate: hotels and resort complexes, hospitals, residential compounds, staff accommodation, and commercial towers. In Oman and the GCC, these buildings distribute terrestrial, satellite, and local TV channels over coaxial networks to every room, and the headend must run 24/7 without interruption.

Seven Star LLC supports integrators across the Sultanate of Oman and the GCC with the IKUSI CFP-900 and the complete CLASS A range. We provide hardware on request, headend design guidance, and manufacturer documentation, so that projects from Sohar to Salalah are built on documented components.

Auxiliary Outputs and LNB Powering

The auxiliary section of the IKUSI CFP-900 is what turns it from a simple 12 V brick into a headend powering hub. Alongside the main 12 V rail it presents a +24 V output rated at 60 mA for mast-head preamplifiers, and four separate LNB feeds: +18 V, +18 V with a 22 kHz tone, +13 V, and +13 V with a 22 kHz tone, each rated at 300 mA. Those four combinations are the standard DiSEqC-era polarity and band selection set, so a fixed satellite installation can take vertical low-band, vertical high-band, horizontal low-band and horizontal high-band feeds directly from the power supply without a separate LNB powering unit in the rack. The combined draw on the +24 V, +18 V and +13 V outputs must stay within 700 mA in total, which is the figure to check when a headend feeds several universal LNBs from one quattro or quad dish assembly.

Because the polarity and band feeds are permanently available rather than switched by the receiver, the CFP-900 suits the fixed-tune headend architecture that CLASS A is built around, where each transmodulator or processor module is assigned a fixed transponder at commissioning and the LNB selection is static thereafter. For the installer this removes an entire class of intermittent fault: there is no receiver-generated tone or voltage to drift, and the powering path from mains to LNB is one documented supply with one set of measurable output voltages.

Mechanical and Environmental Data

The unit measures 230 by 195 by 48 mm and is supplied with its own mains lead, mounting alongside the RF modules on the CLASS A base-plate rather than occupying separate rack hardware. Its switch-mode regulation holds efficiency above 85 per cent, which keeps dissipation inside a closed headend cabinet low enough that the surrounding modules are not heated by their own power supply, a genuine consideration in Omani plant rooms and rooftop enclosures where cabinet ambient can sit well above the outside air temperature for much of the year. The specified operating range is -10°C to +55°C, and installations in Muscat, Sohar and Salalah should be designed so that cabinet internal temperature stays inside that band under summer conditions, with ventilation or forced cooling where a cabinet is exposed to direct solar gain.

Power Budget Planning for CLASS A Headends

Before commissioning, calculate the total current drawn by the modules mounted on the base-plate and compare it with the CFP-900 output capacity, including any preamplifiers and LNBs connected to the auxiliary outputs. This keeps the headend within its design margin and avoids voltage sag under full load. Because the CFP-900 powers the complete headend from one mains feed, spare management is simple: one supply type covers the whole installation, and Seven Star LLC supplies it on request for the GCC.
