AMPLIFIERS

PCT’s bypass drop amplifier is designed to support critical applications such as telephony that require high reliability networks to provide uninterrupted service even in the event of power outages and/or amplifier failure. In normal operating mode the bypass amplifier provides ultra-low noise amplification of broadband signals to all ports for subscriber drop installations. In the event of power or amplifier failures, relays switch the amplifier into bypass mode creating a near zero dB loss connection to the bypass port connected to the

Features and Benefits

• Bypass Failover conditions:
  - Power Outage
  - Low Input Voltage (brown out condition)
  - High Input Voltage
  - IC Failure

• Dual color LED status indicator:

  - Green - Normal Operation
  - Red - Bypass Mode

• IEEE 6 kV, B3 surge withstand on all RF ports.

• SCTE compliant, sealed "F" ports.

• Patented DSM seizure technology in all “F” ports provides
 increased spring retention and more surface contact.
  - Gold-plated, beryllium copper construction for better corrosion resistance, impedance matching, and less common path distortion.
- Holds over 200 grams after multiple entries.

• Excellent noise and lowest distortions performance.

• Local and remote powering options.

• Available in several configurations:
  - Amplified Forward signal, Passive Return signal
  - Amplified Forward signal, Amplified Return signal
  - Unity Gain Forward signal, Unity Gain Return signal
  - Forward equalization

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