The ARRIS 1 GHz BT100 Amplifier enables cable operators to increase forward capacity while maintaining current amplifier spacing of existing 750 and 870 MHz systems. The BT100 is available as a complete unit for greenfield deployments or as a drop-in RF module for 1 GHz upgrades to legacy STARLINE BTD, BT75, BT86 and BT87 amplifiers.
Features:
- 3 or 4 Output (selected as part of the ordering process) with 42 dB Gain Forward, 17.5 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 housing with dimensions 21.6 in x 10.6 in x 7.7 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
