GigaXtend GMC 1.8GHz Booster Amplifier
The GigaXtend® Booster Amplifier, a fixed-gain amplifier designed for DOCSIS 4.0 outside plant environments, features an integrated power supply and requires no alignment or setup. The Booster Amplifier increases signal levels between ATX and similar amplifiers, helping to eliminate the need for extensive system redesign and additional labor associated with network reconfigurations when MSOs upgrade to 1.8GHz. The Booster Amplifier can also be used to increase RF levels toward end-of-line taps. It is equipped with field-replaceable diplex filters to simplify future upgrades.
Features
- Low gain, low power small form-factor amp
- Conforms to SCTE 279 1.8GHz amplifier specifications
- Modular design for easy installation and maintenance
- Integrated power supply
- Fixed downstream and upstream gain and tilt with no level
adjustments for plug-and-play operation - 15A current capacity (steady state) and 20A surge
survivability (max 2 hours) - External access to RF test points
- In-field frequency-split upgrades
- Supports spectrum frequencies of 1.8GHz downstream
and up to 684MHz upstream - Surge-resistant circuitry that helps ensure gain-stage
protection without fuses or other failure-causing devices - Spring-loaded seizure assemblies allow coaxial connectors
to be installed or removed without removing the amplifier
