Chapter 1: Overview of the DBC-1200S
The Technetix DBC-1200S strand mount amplifier is an innovative “crossover” design
which provides a field upgradeable solution to deep fiber/fiber to the last amplifier (FttLA)�
The RF function can be configured for use as a two output device (with or without an internal
splitter/directional coupler)�
Designed using energy efficient GaN (gallium nitride) technologies, the DBC-1200S offers a functional
upgrade path for the majority of compact amplifiers from other manufacturers by:
■
Consuming less power for the same operational gain
■
Providing a similar or smaller physical footprint
■
Harnessing GaN technology to provide class-leading forward and return path gain, duplicating
or improving on the performance of existing units
The DBC-1200S provides reverse path transmission with a hybrid amplification stage�
Forward and return path attenuation can be adjusted with electronic attenuators, with electronic
equalizers available for forward and return path equalization� The cable simulation may be provided
by a suitable JXP plug-in module�
The DBC-1200S has a highly efficient long-life switch-mode power supply to provide the powering
modes required for the modules used�
Gas tubes at the input and output ports protect the RF circuits in the event of lightning
or mains power surges�
