Bi-directional RF amplifiers with active return are used to compensate for weak signal strength in digital cable networks where two way communication is necessary. The forward signal (incoming from the service provider) is amplified by 15dB and the return path (outgoing to the service provider) is amplified by 11dB. Low noise, low distortion and excellent return loss are achieved using an integrated circuit (IC) that is specially designed for these ranges. The bi-directional RF amplifier case is made from a solid zinc die-cast plated with nickel to assure excellent weatherability. Since the case is totally airtight, it provides superb electromagnetic shielding and waterproofing performance. For indoor or sealed enclosure use only. The included Power Adapter provides power through a coaxial cable (cable not included). Purchase a coaxial RF cable separately that will reach from the amplifier to the designated electrical outlet. It is recommend a cable or telephony modem should be placed on a separate network segment from the amplifier as incorrectly amplifying or adding to great of a signal level may cause damage to the cable or telephony modem. Bi-directional RF amplifier dimensions: 3.3" W x 4.4" H x 0.9" D. |
