PRODUCT DESCRIPTION 

 

The  CTA-30-870AR  distribution  amplifier  is  a  high  quality  push-pull  amplifier  producing  signals 
with  extremely  low  distortion  and  harmonic  content.  The  forward  bandwidth  makes  possible 
135-channel operation while the two-way configuration allows the amplifier to be used in systems 
that utilize remote signal sources on the return path.
