The
MACOM C860
is a professional re-broadcast grade, rack-mounted, high isolation,
passive headend signal combiner available in a 24-channel configuration. This unit
combines the outputs from multiple modulators and processors into a single common
broadband output. The high quality directional coupler design enables high isolation
between input ports, providing minimum interaction between digital and/or analog input
sources. Plug-in equalizers and attenuators provide system balancing capability and a
high isolation sub-band output port for return path applications further enhance the
versatility of this combiner. The
C860
combiner makes it ideally suited for bi-directional
applications, such as cable modems, remote audio/video origination or other applications
where remote signal origination is returned to the headend. The
MACOM
line is backed
by an industry leading 5-year limited warranty.
Broadband 5-1000 MHz
Broadcast quality specifications
for unparalleled picture quality
Sub-band output port provides
high isolation VHF/UHF
ingress-free
return path for
CMTS and
remote
audio/video
application
>18 dB return loss provides
reduced reflections for exceptional
digital signal performance
Directional coupler design
provides improved carrier-to-
noise, system performance
and picture quality
High -50 dB port to port
isolation provides spurious
carrier rejection and minimizes
undesired channel interaction,
thereby reducing picture distortion
Passive design allows
bi-directional flexibility for
two-way digital and analog
requirements
Plug-in equalizers and attenuators
(included) enable uniform gain
and slope system balancing for
minimum distortion
-20 dB test port provides
convenient access for headend
testing and system monitoring
