MCD-5000 Series RF Signal Management
Electroline’s network combining gear provides users with a standard cable manage-
ment platform, combining multiple input signals to one port. RF signals from a variety
of sources including audio/video modulators, channel processors and advanced
services such as telephony, digital communications, network managers and status
monitors can be routed through the combiners in a reliable and convenient modular
format.
This space saving, compact modular design provides maximum density for easier
installations, maintenance, and cable management. A standard 8-input to 1-output
configuration can provide as many as 128 input ports in a 5 rack unit, 16 module vertical installation, or a total of 144 ports
for combining and splitting.
As with the entire product line, the MCD Series has always been designed with you, the customer in mind. Our uniquely
configured products provide a feature set that is required in today’s expanding services market. Our MCD series of modular
passives are engineered to be either forward or return path specific. The forward path modules (50-870 MHz) are manufac-
tured with a built-in equalizer and -20 dB test point to outperform any competitor’s product. Our ultra high performance
modules exhibit the highest isolation response available in the market today. With multiple services and an increasing
amount of traffic, networks will require this high degree of isolation to insure that signals do not “bleed” across any of the
adjacent or common ports.
Electroline offers the ultimate in ultra high performance RF signal management. The MCD- 5000 Series incorporates ultra-
flat response characteristics, unmatched port-to-port isolation, and a variety of space saving rack mounting options for
complete modular flexibility and cable routing solutions. These passives are utilized in RF network configurations and
routing in headend, hub, and node facilities.
