Description:
The BIDA 5800 and 5900 Series are professional, two-way broadband indoor distribution amplifiers. These amplifiers are ideal for multi-channel RF distribution systems for which the input source is a "cable drop" or the output of a MATV/SMATV/CATV headend.
The BIDA 5800 Series features models having RF bandwidths of 550, 750, 860 and 1000 MHz (this unit is a 550 MHz unit). Push-pull is the hybrid-technology used in this model. The unit is equipped for 2-way operation. The 5800 series has a 36/49 MHz (reverse/forward) split. The factory configuration is for passive return path operation. Active return path operation can easily be accomplished by reconfiguring a few internal jumpers.
The BIDA 5800/5900 Series utilizes an external power transformer providing 26 VAC to the amplifier. This enables the amplifiers to be remotely powered via low voltage AC wiring should a 120 VAC electrical outlet not be in close proximity to the desired amplifier location.
