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.
