The Pico Macom MCM55 is a high quality hybrid push-pull wall-mounted

distribution amplifier producing signals with extremely low-noise and har-

monic distortion. These amplifiers are capable of 42 channel operation over

the 54-300MHz range in smaller MDU, CATV or SMATV systems. Because of

its high gain and low noise figure, the MCM55 is also ideally suited for head-

end applications with low-level input signals. The hybrid module provides

excellent heat sinking capabilities that are required for the reliability of a high

output amplifier. To ensure reliability and minimize heat build-up within the

unit, an external UL approved power adapter is supplied.
