Product Features

  • Meets or exceeds all SCTE Standards. PTC Short-Circuit Protected UL Listed Adaptor - Self-resetting circuit protection provides safe protection against short-circuits to minimize outage times. Amplifier has 6 kV ring wave surge design for protection against voltage spikes. Operating temperature: -40 to +60 C (-40F to +140F). 15 PSI weather-tight seal.
  • This is a TV signal amplifier which provides one input and four outputs, for connecting multiple TV sets or cable boxes. Allows multiple devices to connect to an antenna or cable system without losing signal quality.
  • Amplifier includes an integrated equalizer which varies amplifier gain. The equalizer provides more amplification to high frequency signals, which tend to get weaker over long cable runs. All ports provide an amplified signal, with a minimum gain of +0dB @ 54MHz up to +7.5dB gain @ 1000MHz.
  • Suitable for Antenna or Cable TV use. Compatible With All Standard And Digital Cable TV Services, OTA Antenna Reception. Not compatible on systems with an existing amplifier or pre-amplifier. Not compatible with satellite systems.
