Overview
The MBV3-100* is a balanced three output amplifier used in CATV distribution systems. All
models are high-gain, three-stage hybrid amplifiers designed to drive both a cascade and a local
distribution system. The MBV3-100* is powered by the 60/90 VAC cable supply and can be
configured to pass this power to additional amplifiers and line extenders. Installation of the
return path enables two-way signal flow. Single output models are also available.
The standard model MBV3-100* includes an amplifier electronics module (base) and a power
supply (lid) furnished complete in the model MB-HSG housing as illustrated in Figure 2-1.
