General Description
The ACS-101 (Antenna Combiner Splitter 10 to 1) is an
amplified and filtered broadband splitter-combiner. It allows up
to 10 base stations to use only one (1) transmit and one(1)
receive antenna.
The antenna combiner section contains innovative hybrid
coupling, amplifying and matching technology to combine 10
transmitters to one (1) output with very low intermod distortion.

Instruction Sheet
ACS-101
Amplified Broadband UHF Combiner-Splitter
Installation Sheet
The antenna splitter section has broadband input filtering and
amplification to maintain signal levels through the splitters.
High output isolation between pots is also achieved.
The industrial strength power supply of the ACS-101 supplies
voltage and current to two (2) outputs on the product. Each
output can supply up to 5Amps at 12VDC.
IMPORTANT:
Using products that deliver more than
50mW of transmit power to the ACS-101
is not recommended, and may cause
damage to the unit or accompanying gear.
