Broadband 54-300MHz 
frequency range (Channels 
CATV 2-36, 95-99)

High 55dB gain for optimal 
carrier-to-noise ratio and 
superior picture quality

± 0.5dB flatness across band
provides low distortion and
excellent frequency response

Employs state-of-the art 
hybrid push-pull technology for
distortion-free audio-video quality

Adjustable slope and gain controls
for easy system balancing

Easy-access controls and 
low-loss (-30dB) test point
enable simplified setup and
performance monitoring

Shielded enclosure provides over
95dB RFI shielding performance
reducing leakage and ingress

Built-in lightning and line voltage
surge protection protects the
unit from damage 

Black anodized extruded
aluminum heat-sink maximizes
heat dissipation for improved 
reliability and corrosion resistance

External UL approved power
adapter supplied for ease of
installation and to reduce heat
build-up within the unit

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.
