MODEL 8227 GPS INLINE AMPLIFIER
An inline amplifier is required whenever GPS antenna cable lengths cause greater than
20 dB attenuation. Using Spectracom CA07xxx or Belden 8267 coax, an amplifier is
needed whenever antenna cable lengths exceed 200 feet.
The Model 8227 GPS Inline Amplifier, shown in Figure 2-5, extends the maximum cable
length to 400 feet. The Model 8227 provides 20 dB of gain and is powered by the
NetClock/GTP receiver.
FIGURE 2-5 MODEL 8227 INLINE AMPLIFIER
Each Model 8227 includes two clamp type male N connectors. These connectors can
be used to splice the Model 8227 into the antenna coax. The connectors are
compatible with RG-213 type coax such as Spectracom CA07xxx or Belden 8267.
Refer to Figure 2-3 for connector assembly instructions.
A five-foot long coaxial cable is also provided with each Model 8227. This cable
connects the amplifier to the surge suppressor. This cable is rated for indoor usage
only.
Refer to Figure 2-6 for Model 8227 installation guidelines. The cable lengths shown in
Figure 2-6 represent Spectracom CA07xxx cable. The equivalent cable loss expressed
in dB, is provided for use with other cables.
Place the inline amplifier within 100 feet (10 dB cable loss) of the antenna to optimize
the signal to noise ratio. Whenever possible, install the inline amplifier indoors after the
impulse suppressor using the supplied 5-foot cable. The amplifier can be installed
outdoors, providing care is taken to weatherproof the connections. Due to unique
system dynamics of the antenna, amplifier and receiver, a minimum of cable length of
200 feet (20 dB cable loss) is required to prevent overloading the receiver.
