PDI Communications, Inc.: Amplifiers: Drop Amplifiers

These new PDI ultra low noise drop amplifiers each offer a passive return path for today's new multimedia CATV systems. The passive return path allows signals from the customer's digital interfaces to travel from his home back to the CATV headend for processing. The sealed, weatherproof, high isolation, coated case guarantees clean signals from the home in the reverse path. These units are 6KV rated and are powered through the DC port or an RF output port using a power inserter (optional).
