The splitter provides fused DC power insertion on the RF input connector center pin, surge protection, and excellent RF characteristics. The splitter has a monitor connector on the front panel and eight outputs on the back panel. The 115 VAC wall power supply provides a +18 VDC voltage for internal amplifiers and for DC to power an external amplifier (often Low Noise Block converters or LNBs) through a DC power inserter. The LNB power line is separately fused. A surge suppressor on the splitter input protects against high voltage transients. All splitter outputs are AC coupled so no DC appears on their center conductors. On the front panel, a green LED indicates the presence of +18 VDC at the LNB power supply output and DC voltage test points allow monitoring this voltage with a voltmeter. Presence of power from the +18 VDC wall power supply is shown by the green AC Power LED. Up to three 284’s can be mounted on an optional 1 3/4”x 19” rack mount panel (option R1, R2, or R3).
