Model | Description | Function |
|
|
|
| Starline Forward Equalizer | This 1 GHz equalizer compensates for cable properties |
|
| in 1 dB increments from 0 dB through 22 dB. The |
|
| appropriate value must be installed. |
| Starline Return Equalizer | This bandwidth specific equalizer compensates for |
|
| cable attenuation in 1 dB increments from 0 dB through |
|
| 12 dB for |
|
| The appropriate value must be installed. |
| Starline Cable Simulator | This simulator compensates for cable properties. The |
|
| appropriate value must be installed. |
| Fixed attenuator | This pad attenuates excessive input signal and can be |
|
| used to adjust amplifier gain. It is available in 1 dB |
|
| increments from 0 dB through 26 dB. The appropriate |
|
| value must be installed. |
| Thermal attenuators | This option compensates for gain changes with |
|
| temperature in the return path. |
FTEC | Fast Transfer Electronic | This accessory is used for overvoltage protection. |
| Crowbar |
|
| Deep housing cover | This optional cover is required to contain the LIFELINE |
|
| status monitor module which is available from AM |
|
| Networks. |
| Response Correction Board | This optional board compensates for system |
|
| 1 GHz. The BLE100 is shipped with a jumper in this |
|
| location which you can replace when additional |
|
| response correction is required. |
| Return Path Correction board | This optional board provides additional flatness |
|
| response correction in the return path for systems that |
|
| must meet especially stringent return path flatness |
|
| requirements. |
| Ingress Control Switch | This option enables remote monitoring, isolation, and |
|
| reduction of ingress on the return path by providing |
|
| signal attenuation of 6 dB or cutoff of 38 dB typical. The |
|
| unit is shipped with a jumper in this location. The |
|
| LIFELINE status monitoring module (available from AM |
|
| Networks) must be installed to control the ICS. |
