  Drop Amplifiers Specifications

PCT’s 1 GHz multimedia drop amplifiers provide ultra-low noise amplification of broadband signals for subscriber drop installations. Within broadband networks, changes in signal level resulting from growing installations of new subscriber services, including the deployment of digital set-top boxes and cable modems, has increased the demand for high quality drop amplifiers. PCT’s line offers a cost-effective solution with advanced performance in distortions and pass band response. All ports include PCT’s patented Digital Seizure Mechanism (DSM) for superior center conductor retention, electrical performance and surge withstand. Products are available in 1-, 2-, and 4-port models, with active or passive return options.


General Specifications

• 1, 2, or 4 output ports available

• Drop-line powering capability via
  optional power inserter PCT-MPI-1G

• Direct powering capability via "PWR
  IN" F-Port using included wall
  transformer

• White powder coated aluminum
  with weather seal & RFI gasket rear
  housing plate

• SCTE compliant F-ports (Standard
  PCT-F61DA) machined brass,
  nickel plated input and output
  connectors

• Operating temperature between
  -40° F to +140°F

• Surge withstand:

PCT-MA-1015: 5 cycles on each port of a 6kV, 0.5µs - 100 kHz ring wave, as defined by IEEE C62.41-1991 for a Category A3 device

PCT-MA-B1015: 5 cycles on each port of a 6kV, 1.2/50µs - 8/20µs combination wave, as defined by IEEE C62.41-1991 for a Category B3 device

Features and Benefits

  • Lowest distortions performance available

  • Patented DSM seizure technology provides increased spring retention for better surface contact
  • Gold-plated, beryllium copper construction for better corrosion resistance, impedance matching and less common path distortion

  • 6 kV surge withstand on all “F” ports (both A3 and B3 versions available)

  • Patented spark gap improves surge withstand capabilities, directs surge to ground before entering the housing and circuit board

  • 6 KV surge withstand (B3) on the power adapter

  • SCTE-compliant sealed “F” ports

  • Lightweight powder coated and weather sealed housing for superior corrosion protection

  • Local or remote powered

  • LED power indicator

  • Drop amplifiers available in the following configurations: Forward with passive reverse; combined active forward and reverse; and reverse only
