5 Port Drop Amplifier With Modem By-pass Port

The ACI Communications Drop Amplifier with a dedicated modem pass-through port is a house-type active device that delivers superior performance up to 1 GHz in todays expanding RF telecommunications networks. The modem pass through port has a switching relay that will keep the modem connection active if the residential power is lost and then return to normal operation once the power is resorted
The Drop Amplifier provides additional gain at the customer premise when needed as a result of long drops, multiple TV outlets, or multiple service requirements. Additionally, port 5 will maintain a signal for lifeline VoIP services if the residential power is lost. This is done by a switching relay that will detect the loss of power and switch into a passive mode with only port 5 active, and then automatically switch back to normal operation when the residential power is restored. The Drop Amplifier allows very versatile deployment. To install, simply locate and mount the amplifier, and then connect the RF input cable and the RF output cable(s) making sure to connect any VoIP services cable to the VoIP port. Since the amplifier is a DC powered device, powering may be achieved in two different ways. It can either be powered directly in a co-located situation through an externally mounted transformer or it may be powered remotely by an externally mounted transformer via the cable through a power inserter at the TV set location.

Features
