MX-7

Descriptions

The 

Pico Macom MX7

low loss 7-channel mixing network is an extreme-

ly cost effective splitting or combining network for use in smaller MATV and
SMATV systems. The user friendly and compact design facilitates easy
installation. Individual channel tuning and attenuator controls provide accurate
quick-and-easy setup or reconfiguration reducing system down time. The

MX7

used as a separator significantly reduces system harmonics when

used prior to a series of 

Pico Macom’s XBS

single channel strip amplifiers

or signal processors. The 

MX7

used as a combiner is the perfect filtration

system to be used when combining outputs from channel specific VHF
antennas before insertion into a cable system via 

Pico Macom’s TA52

broadband amplifier, thus reducing harmonic distortions.
