STARBURST SERIES AMPLIFIER
The
SSttaarrbbuurrsstt SSeerriieess
®
model
PPDDII--886600--22WW
is a high performance distribution amplifier designed for
use in multi-dwelling units. One of the unique features of this amplifier is that if no AC voltage is
available, the unit can be powered by CATV 60-90 volts if present on the cable.PDI’s dual hybrid
power doubling amplifier is housed in a wall mount aluminum case, with large heat sink fins for
maximum heat dissipation. The unit is designed to operate up to 860MHz. When fully loaded with
134 forward channels the
SSttaarrbbuurrsstt SSeerriieess
®
PDI-860-2W has a minimum gain of +33dB. The -20dB
test points are conveniently located externally for testing purposes. The RF input has a surge
arrestor for added protection. This high performance amplifier is available with an optional return-
path 25dB gain amplifier and an optional AGC circuit for present or future requirements. Forward
Gain and Slope controls are located beneath the metal cover to maintain maximum RFI integrity.
PDI 1GHz Splitters
As the market for Data, Telephony and Advanced
Video Services over Broadband networks increases,
so do the demands for the best possible signals.PDI's
6kV rated
55 SSEERRIIEESS
®
Digital Drop Passives, allow
today's Broadband operator the highest level of
performance and dependability. PDI's 5 Series
passives will help insure no interference between
return path signals (coming from your cable modem
and or digital converter box) and your video services.
Bottom line; less truck rolls. This means savings in
maintenance and service costs.
