BMT
Series
TruSpec’s BMT-series commercial-grade back-matched drop taps provide
reliable performance in international and domestic CATV/SMATV distribution
systems. These taps are used in applications requiring the bulk of the signal
passing through one port while reduced signal passes from the tapped port.
This feature ideally suits BMT-series taps for systems using looped or tree
and branch architectures. The unique bi-directional circuit design allows the
tapped port to function regardless of signal flow direction at the thru-ports
simplifying installation and reducing service calls from incorrect installation.
The BMT series features extremely low through-loss performance enabling
longer distribution runs saving cost by reducing amplifier requirements. F-port
threads are precision machined, ensuring easy connector installation and
removal, and improved port-to-connector interface. The zinc-alloy cast case
and epoxy sealed back plate provide superior RFI shielding (-70dB) and a full
environmental seal. Each BMT-series tap is individually tested at the factory
to comply with precise quality standards.
