House connection amplifiers

The compact, price-optimised house connection amplifiers 952-1G and VOS 953-1G were designed for application in modern HFC networks. Great value was set upon a high dynamic range for Interstage operation as well as upon a cost-efficient operation concept with slide switches.

Monitoring via DOCSIS transponder

If fitted with the optional monitoring transponder TVM 1000/H, the amplifiers VOS 952-1G/953-1G can be monitored via DOCSIS protocol. Monitoring with HMS Both amplifiers can be flexibly integrated into monitoring systems which operate with the widespread HMS protocol.

Bridgeable diplex filter

Bridging plugs enable variation of the frequency range between 47-1000 MHz and 85-1000 MHz making it possible to carry out transmission in BAND I in the forward path (without return path).

Flexible return path

In the latest generation, the return path can be operated either actively or passively.

1) CENELEC: 41 channels 2) When the 15 MHz high pass is connected, the dynamic range increases by 3 dB 3) Settable in 2-dB steps using slide switches
