CATV Amplifier

Outdoor 1.2 GHz bi-directional broadband line extender distribution amplifier

Item No.: RTCA-120A
DESCRIPTION
Product Specification:
RTCA-120A high output 1.2 GHz bi-directional broadband line extender is perfect for low cost per mile HFC deployments. The device is an outdoor-hardened distribution amplifier employing a single output, and the latest GaAs hybrid technology to provide superior performance to 1.2 GHz. The amplifiers unique design allows for seamless upgrade configurations from 42/54, 85/102 and 204/258 MHz by simply exchanging plug-in filter sets, thereby future-proofing upstream bandwidth requirements.

The RTCA-120A line extender comes with a composite power, full-band detect AGC in the forward path that provides a stable output with changing environmental conditions.

Features:


  • 1.2 GHz performance with multiple diplex filter options
  • Field-upgradeable diplex filter options
  • 41 dB max gain in forward
  • 28 dB max gain in reverse
  • EPAK (electronics module) mechanically compatible to fit in legacy line extender housings
  • GaAs hybrid technology
  • User-selectable AGC & MGC mode in forward path
  • Low power consumption
  • Superior heat dissipation
  • 6 kV surge protected
  • Powering: 40-90 VAC
  • 15 PSI pressure tested housing
  • Bandwidth: 5-42 MHz/54-1220 MHz; 5-85 MHz/102-1220 MHz; 5-204 MHz/258-1220 MHz
  • Onboard equalization adjusted by JXP pads (attenuators)
