The
Pico Macom MCM55 is a high quality hybrid push-pull wall-mounted
distribution amplifier producing signals with extremely low-noise and
harmonic distortion. These amplifiers are capable of 42 channel operation
over the 54-300MHz range in smaller MDU, CATV or SMATV systems.
Because of its high gain and low noise figure, the
MCM55 is also ideally suited
for headend applications with low-level input signals. The hybrid module
provides excellent heat sinking capabilities that are required for the reliability
of a high output amplifier. To ensure reliability and minimize heat build-up
within the unit, an external UL approved power adapter is supplied.
