PPC’s Step Attenuators provide a fixed level of flat attenuation within the upstream frequencies only.
Low value taps produce the majority of ingress and trouble calls within a typical HFC network. This is due to the lack of sufficient reverse attenuation found in higher-value taps.
Applied directly to the tap port, PPC Step Attenuators provide unity gain with all cable modems and other critical reverse transmission products like digital voice and high-speed internet.
