Cisco GainMaker High Gain Dual System Amplifier 1GHz with 40 52 MHz Split Data Sheet
Description
The GainMaker
®
Broadband Amplifier Platform includes a variety of
RF amplifiers that address the divergent needs of today’s broadband
networks. All GainMaker amplifiers provide superior 2-way
performance and reliability combined with a user-friendly layout. All
share common plug-in accessories and perform to 1 GHz in the
forward path. The Line Extenders in this family provide a single
forward RF output port while the System Amplifiers provide multiple
forward RF output ports.
The GainMaker Line Extender modules have increased gain and are
mechanically compatible with previous Line Extender II and III
housing bases, often enabling upgrade to higher bandwidth with no
re-spacing or re-splicing. The DC power supply is modular and
located in an updated housing lid for easy access. All GainMaker
Line Extender modules are factory configured with reverse amplifier,
diplex filters, forward interstage pads and interstage equalizer, to
ensure optimal performance. For output level control over
temperature, optional configurations additionally include either
single-pilot Automatic Gain Control (AGC) or a Thermal compensation circuit.
The GainMaker Line Extender has a single forward RF output port and is ideally suited for providing high (bridger)
level RF in the feeder network.
