Cisco Cisco Surge-Gap Passives Data Sheet

 

 

 

 
 
 

Today’s advanced broadband networks must support a variety of 
voice, video, and data services.  A key requirement of these 
systems is the reliability of the network.  Scientific-Atlanta’s family 
of Surge-Gap

™

 Passives are designed for deployment in these 

networks.  The 6 kV surge specification, industry leading hum 
modulation and the power soak ratings of the directional couplers, 
splitters, and power inserters, coupled with the outstanding 
insertion loss specifications ensure the reliable performance 
required in the most demanding applications. 
 
 
 
 

•  6 kV surge protection
