500ADA-EQ-L - 1
1. OVERVIEW
The 500ADA-EQ-L Equalizing Analog Distribution Amplifier is a general purpose amplifier for distributing
analog video signals. The 500ADA-EQ-L features one looping (passive) balanced equalized input with
eight outputs. The 500ADA-EQ-L amplifier has been designed to distribute a wide range of analog video
signals. It can also distribute other pulses and signals that are less than 2Vp-p. The 500ADA-EQ-L has a
user-selectable Low Pass Filter with an 8MHz corner frequency to eliminate unwanted out of band high
frequencies.
The 500ADA-EQ-L is housed in the 500FR-L-A
Frame that will hold up to 16 modules.
