This cable drop amplifier is designed for sending
CATV signals to up to four television sets, and has
an internal 15dB signal amplifier to compensate
for losses caused by the split as well as the
additional cable length.
It also provides a passive return path, ensuring
compatibility with current digital and interactive
and broadband cable systems.
Power is supplied either directly through the
power port (#1), via the supplied AC adapter or
may be inserted into the existing signal cable
connected to one of the output ports (#3) as
shown.
While designed for CATV use, this device is
perfectly suitable for use with standard TV
antennas. The housing and "F" ports are all sealed
for permanent installation outdoors.
Note the included AC adaptor must be located
inside.
Installation note:
#1 Power input - Accepts 15VDC from supplied
AC adapter. An "F" jumper is provided for short
distances, the maximum distance for this cable
is 200'
#2 RF input - Accepts signal from cable company
or external antenna.
#3 RF output - Output to be sent to the first television
set. This also acts as a power input if a remote
power inserter is used to supply power.
#4 RF output - Output to be sent to up to four
television sets.
#5 Ground lugs - This provides necessary ground
connection should the unit be located outside of
the structure.
#6 Power indicator - this will light when 15VDC power
is properly supplied to the unit.
Power may be supplied to this unit directly into
port #1. This port and the supplied AC adaptor
are both equipped with standard "F" female
connectors, allowing standard CATV cables to
be used to provide power.
Power may also be supplied over the existing
signal cable being fed from port #3. This allows
the supplied AC adaptor to be easily located at
one of the television sets. This requires separate
purchase of a Power Inserter, such as Item
#30-2405, available from MCM Electronics and .
similar sources of CATV installation products.
