The MACOM C860 is a professional re-broadcast grade, rack-mounted, high isolation, passive headend signal combiner
available in a 24-channel configuration. This unit combines the outputs from multiple modulators and processors into a single
common broadband output. The high quality directional coupler design enables high isolation between input ports, providing
minimum interaction between digital and/or analog input sources. Plug-in equalizers and attenuators provide system balancing
capability and a high isolation sub-band output port for return path applications further enhance the versatility of this combiner. The
C860 combiner makes it ideally suited for bi-directional applications, such as cable modems, remote audio/video origination or
other applications where remote signal origination is returned to the headend. The MACOM line is backed by an industry lead-
ing 5-year limited warranty.
