CA-30RK550
550MHz Push-Pull Headend Amplifiers
The Pico Macom CA-30RK550 and CA-45RK550 are
cast grade push-pull amplifiers producing signals with extremely low noise and
harmonic distortion. In the
module is preceded by a single transistor stage preamplifier to achieve the
total gain of 45dB. The amplifiers are capable of 82 channel operation over the
54-550MHz range. These rack-mounted amplifiers make excellent headend
launch amplifiers and are frequently used in conjunction with
passive headend combiners
ciated with signal combining in CATV and SMATV systems. Also, the
CA30RK550 and CA45RK550 are ideally suited for amplifying the cable input
prior to Pico
"mix-and-match" channel applications or those requiring local insertion.
Macom backs up this product with its industry leading 5-year limited warranty.
