SFE-100-*

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.

SRE-*-*

Starline Return Equalizer

This bandwidth specific equalizer compensates for

 

 

cable attenuation in 1 dB increments from 0 dB through

 

 

12 dB for S-split (2 dB increments for all other splits).

 

 

The appropriate value must be installed.

SCS-*

Starline Cable Simulator

This simulator compensates for cable properties. The

 

 

appropriate value must be installed.

JXP-*B

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.

JXP-TH*C

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

 

BLE-LID/SM

Deep housing cover

This optional cover is required to contain the LIFELINE

 

 

status monitor module which is available from AM

 

 

Networks.

BLE-RCB100

Response Correction Board

This optional board compensates for system roll-off at

 

 

1 GHz. The BLE100 is shipped with a jumper in this

 

 

location which you can replace when additional

 

 

response correction is required.

JXP-RPC

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.

ICS-II

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.

Figure 2-8 illustrates the location of options and accessories in the BLE100.
