An 8 Way amplified splitter is typically used to replace an 8 Way cable splitter in a broadband network. The amplified splitter provides 3dB forward gain (incoming from the service provider) per port compared to an 11dB loss per port on a typical 8 Way coaxial cable splitter. The down-stream band is amplified from 54-1000 MHz and the up-stream band is passed with low loss from 5-42 MHz. Low noise, low distortion and excellent return loss are achieved using an integrated circuit (IC) that is specially designed for these ranges. The splitter case is made from a solid zinc die-cast and is plated with nickel to assure excellent weatherability. Since the case is totally airtight, it provides superb electromagnetic shielding and waterproofing performance. For indoor use only. The included Power Adapter provides power through a coaxial cable (cable not included). Purchase a coaxial cable separately that will reach from the amplifier to the designated electrical outlet. A cable modem or telephony modem should not use an amplified signal as this may cause damage to the modem. The modem should be placed on a separate network segment from the amplifier. 8 way amplified splitter dimensions: 4.5" W x 4.25" H x 1.5" D. |
