The ARRIS STARLINE BLE100 Series Line Extender enables cable operators to increase forward capacity while maintaining current amplifier spacing in their existing 750 and 870 MHz systems. The BLE100 is available as a complete unit for greenfield deployments or as a drop-in RF module for 1 GHz upgrades to legacy JLX, BLE-75SH and BLE87 amplifiers (JLX and BLE-75SH upgrades require the additional BLE-15A assembly kit).
Features:
- 1 Output with 34 dB Gain Forward, 24 dB Gain Return
- Line-fed AC input voltage range of 38-90 VAC, and 15 amp AC current capability
- Internal Hi/Lo settable dip-switch to prevent excess loading when using with 90VAC systems
- Overvoltage protection included standard via FTEC (Fast Transfer Electronic Crowbar)
- K, A or N splits available to 1003 MHz
- E-GaN (Gallium Nitride) option provides a 3 dB increase in output level over the standard E-GaAs (Enhanced Gallium Arsenide) technology, for improving amplifier reach
- Minimize RF drift over temperature via optional level control modules
- Available in IP68 rated aluminum housing with dimensions 10.6 in x 8 in x 4.7 in, or as an electronics-only module for upgrading backwards compatible housings
- Uses JXP attenuators and common STARLINE forward and return equalizers and cable simulators
