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.
