Digital Optimized Broadband 5-1000MHz
frequency range
Interchangeable faceplates value enable "on
the fly" redesign for maximum time savings
and further reduced costs associated with
splicing in new tap housings with every
change.
Powder coated aluminum alloy housing with
double tongue in groove interface provides
100dB effective EMI/RFI shielding to reduce
signal egress/ingress issues
Triple sealed F-ports are pressure sealed
to 15 psi for watertight operation even in
harsh environments
High tap-to-output isolation provides spurious
carrier protection and minimizes undesired
customer to customer interaction, reducing
picture distortion and return data interference
High-performance glass epoxy printed board
circuitry with premium components provides
low intermodulation distortion to ensure
excellent performance with digital signals
Extended connector collars provide shoulder
for a positive heat shrink shield, eliminating
connector water migration and extending the
life of housing

TruSpec's TSHP-series 1GHz professional grade CATV outdoor hardline multitaps, splitters,
2
directional couplers and power inserters provide superb performance, unsurpassed by competitors'
equivalent models. The TSHP-series broadband frequency range 5-1000MHz provides excellent
bi-directional compatibility, while the high return loss and low insertion loss ideally suits the
TSHP-series for high-speed digital applications such as digital QAM systems and Internet applica-
tions. Our advanced glass epoxy printed board and surface mount circuitry includes special ferrite
core material, guaranteeing unsurpassed insertion loss, optimal isolation and return loss perform-
ance to 1GHz. This ensures high-quality analog or digital signal transfer and extremely low tap
port-to-port interaction.This equipment is designed for power compatibility with 30, 60, and
90VAC systems with current capacity up to 12A, enabling compatibility with most CATV powering
designs. Designed for the traditional CATV tree and branch signal distribution, the applications
range from CATV residential to MDU and strand, vault, pedestal or lockbox installations in
international and domestic cable distribution systems. In the event of system redesign, all multi-
taps are designed with removable plate fully compatible and interchangeable, allowing "on-the-fly"
tap value redesign and eliminating the hassle of re-splicing during multitap replacement. All plates
are marked with tap value and direction designations. The outstanding environmental weather-
proofing is provided by double tongue in groove interface, triple port moisture seal and non-corro-
sive powder coated aluminum alloy housing, providing an impressive 15 psi watertight seal for
long life in underground, submerged and salty environments. The multitaps are used in applica-
tions requiring the bulk of the input signal passing through one port, while reduced signal passes
from the tapped ports. The splitters and directional couplers provide signal distribution options to
feed multiple distribution legs. All TSHP-series multitap F-port threads are precision machined,
ensuring easy connector installation and removal, and improved port-to-connector interface. High
retention internal seizing pins ensure excellent connectivity to connector center lead.
