AMPLIFIERS

PCT's 8-Port MA2 drop amplifier has improved performance and ultra-low noise amplification of broadband signals for subscriber drop installations. The 8-Port Amplifier provides better return loss performance, enhanced shielding protection, and IEEE B3 6kV, 3000 amp combination wave surge withstand on all ports for superior lightning protection. All “F” ports also include PCT’s patented Digital Seizure Mechanism (DSM) for superior center conductor retention, electrical performance, and additional protection against transient surges.

Features and Benefits

• Lowest distortions performance available

• Patented DSM seizure
  technology provides
  increased spring retention for
  better surface contact
