L860: Bi-Directional Launch Amplifier

**DISCONTINUED**

Features

  • Broadband 54-1000MHz forward bandwidth, 5-36MHz active reverse path
  • 30dB typical forward-path gain for optimum performance to overcome combining losses and provide ample level for distribution
  • 20dB active reverse-path gain for extra level to distribute reverse path signals to CMTS and other upstream applications
  • Adjustable gain and slope controls to optimize carrier-to-noise ratio and provide superior picture quality and easy system balancing
  • Plug-in equalizers and attenuators (included) enable uniform gain and slope system balancing for minimum distortion
  • Employs dual state-of-the-art push-pull hybrid technology for very low distortion, high input and output capability
  • -20dB input and output test points enable simplified setup and performance monitoring without service interruption
  • Built-in lightning and line-voltage surge protection safeguards the unit from damage
