 CHP Max5000 1 GHz 3-Input Fprward Path RF Amplifier —The CHP Max5000 1GHz 3-Input Forward Path RF Amplifier is a hot-swappable module that can be used as a key system component in a headend or hub environment to provide RF signal amplification and narrowcast layering. The innovative 3 RF inputs, 1 broadcast and 2 narrowcast, support layered services such as SDV, VOD, and HSD. This amplifier is designed to provide system operators a low cost way to overcome network losses, with minimal degradation to system performance, caused by combining and splitting networks that are typically found in HFC headends/hubs.
Features
1GHz technology single output with forward passband of 50 to 1002MHz
One broadcast and two narrowcast RF inputs
1 broadcast input and 2 narrowcast inputs supports layered narrowcast service implementation, such as SDV, VOD, and HSD
The maximum gain for the broadcast port is 20dB, the narrowcast port are 10dB
Tunable equalization for broadcast input
Reduced signal combining and cable wiring complexity
Low profile footprint allows 200 amplifiers in a standard rack
Universal local or remote management through Craft interface and SNMP with HMS
In-service tunable equalization within the Craft GUI monitoring system reduces setup time and increases control
Superior CNR and distortion performance
Gain adjustable by 6dB in 0.25dB steps via Craft GUI or SNMP
Superior reverse port-to-port isolation enables the combination of multiple narrowcast sources to reduce external signal combining and simplify cable wiring.
Front-panel RF output testpoint for convenient monitoring
