range (Channels CATV 2-78, 95-99) Available in either 30dB or 45dB gain configurations for optimal carrier-to-noise ratio and supe- rior picture quality ± 0.5dB flatness across band provides low distortion and excellent frequency response Employs state-of-the art hybrid push-pull technology for distor- tion-free audio-video quality Adjustable slope and gain con- trols for easy system balancing Front panel controls and test point enable easy setup and monitoring Double shielded enclosure pro- vides over 95dB RFI shielding performance reducing leakage and ingress Built-in lightning and line volt- age surge protection protects the unit from damage Also available in a wall mount versions as CA30-550 or CA45-550 Distribution Amplifiers The Pico Macom CA-30RK550 and CA-45RK550 are professional re-broad- cast grade push-pull amplifiers producing signals with extremely low noise and harmonic distortion. In the CA-45RK550, the state-of-the-art hybrid amplifier 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 Pico Macom’s passive headend combiners (PHC12G or PHC24G) to overcome losses asso- 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 Macom’s CEF channel elimination filter in applications requiring “mix-and-match” channel applications or those requiring local insertion. Pico Macom backs up this product with its industry leading 5-year limited warranty.
