Broadband Distribution
Amplifiers
The ZCM Series includes
professional quality,
broadband distribution
amplifiers, designed
for special purpose
applications in the
MATV, SMATV, private and wireless cable markets.
These amplifiers cover the 50~550MHz frequency
range and provide low noise amplification at a
reasonable cost. Two models are available with
either 10 or 20dB of gain, each capable of accepting a
relatively high input level. Specifications: ZCM-101

Broadband Amplifiers
The BIDA Series are professional quality, broadband, two-way capable, indoor hybrid
distribution amplifiers that are designed for RF distribution systems, such as apartment complexes, hospitals,
schools, prisons, hotels, and a wide variety of similar applications. The BIDA Series is ideal for multi-channel
RF distribution systems whose input source is a “cable drop” or the output of a MATV/SMATV/CATV headend.
Additionally, the BIDA Series may be used as the launch amplifier in a distribution network. These amplifiers
use dual push–pull hybrid modules, capable of delivering high output levels with low
distortion, even in systems with over 100 channels of programming. Power doubling
models can be cascaded together with lower distortion resulting than the push–pull
amplifiers allowing the system to maintain higher signal integrity. The gain and slope
controls are designed between the hybrid modules for optimum noise figure, input return
loss and output capability. Test ports for both the input and output are provided for
testing signal levels without interrupting service. The BIDA Series come in a rugged,
aluminum chassis that provides exceptional heat dissipation. This allows the BIDA
Series to be operated at high
ambient temperatures with no
degradation of performance or
reliability. The combination
of features and durable
construction ensures that the
BIDA Series will provide years
of reliable, trouble-free service.
Broadband Distribution Amplifiers
The ZTA Series are broadband distribution amplifiers designed for special purpose applications in the MATV, SMATV, private and
wireless cable markets. These amplifiers provide high output and low noise amplification at a reasonable cost. Several models
are available for VHF, FM, and UHF signal reception. The ZTA Series products are available with a number of gain levels so that a
unit can be selected to fit most systems. The amplifiers come with a variety of features, including separate VHF and UHF antenna
inputs, FM traps, and individual gain controls for VHF and UHF. The combination of split band amplification and low noise input
circuitry results in a wide dynamic range and exceptional output capability. The ZTA Series products are UL and CSA approved
and all models come with lightning and surge protected power supplies, thereby ensuring years of reliable operation.

Multiple Dwelling
Amplifier
This
professional
quality, broadband,
indoor hybrid distribution
amplifier is designed for RF
distribution systems, such as apartment complexes,
hospitals, schools, prisons, and hotels. It is ideal for
those RF distribution systems whose input source is a
cable drop, the output of a MATV/SMATV headend, or
the output of a small CATV headend. The ACA 30-550
amplifier has a flat 30dB of operational gain, which is
variable using a built-in gain control. Variable slope
control is also provided, with an available range of
9dB. This amplifier uses a push-pull technology,
capable of delivering high output levels with low
distortion, even in systems with 110 channels of
programming. It is housed in a compact, aluminum
chassis that provides excellent heat dissipation,
allowing the ACA 30-550 to be operated at high
ambient temperatures with no degradation of
performance or reliability. The ACA 30-550 is provided
with an external power transformer for use with
117VAC power. The unit can also be powered directly
with 24VAC. The superior design guarantees long
service at an affordable price. This high performance
hybrid amplifier is the obvious selection when cost
and performance parameters are extremely tight.
