Pico Macom CA-30RK1000 Rackmount 1GHz Broadband Headend Amplifier

The Pico Macom CA-30RK1000 is a professional re-broadcast grade push-pull amplifier producing signals with extremely low noise and harmonic distortion. The amplifier is capable of 158 channel operation over the 54-1000MHz range. This rack-mounted amplifier makes an excellent headend launch amplifier and is frequently used in conjunction with Pico Macom’s passive headend combiners (PHC-12G or PHC-24G) to overcome losses associated with signal combining in broadband CATV systems. Also, the CA-30RK1000 is ideally suited for amplifying the cable input prior to Pico Macom’s CEF channel elimination filter in applications requiring “mix-and-match” channel applications or those requiring local insertion.

Features:

• 54-1000 MHz Frequency Range (CATV 2-158)

• 30dB gain for optimal carrier-to-noise ratio and superiorpicture quality

• +/- 0.5dB flatness across band provides low distortion and excellent frequency response

• Employs state-of-the art hybrid push-pull technology for distortion-free audio-video quality

• Adjustable slope and gain controls for easy system balancing

• Easy-access controls and low loss (-20dB) test point enable simplified setup and performance monitoring

• Double-Shielded enclosure provides over 95dB RFI shielding performance reducing leakage and ingress

• Built-in lightning and line voltage surge protection protects the unit from damage

• Also available in a wall mount version CA-30/1000
