LMCA-101 

MODULAR HEADEND AMPLIFIER SYSTEM

Our new Modular Headend Amplifier System, Model LMCA-101, is perfect for applications such as headend laser transmitter drivers or signal power boosters.  Various gain amplifiers can now be mixed in a single frame for forward, as well as return path applications. The HAF/HAR Series amplifier modules are powered by a single power supply module, which is easily accessible from the front of the chassis. This power supply is capable of supporting the full load of four amplifiers.  In the unlikely event of a power supply failure, it can be easily replaced to minimize downtime.

FEATURES:

• The LMCA-101 chassis is 19”wide, taking up only 1RU and can support any combination of up to four modular HAF/HAR Series amplifier modules for exceptional density and efficient usage of available rack space. 

• A set of front panel mounted LED indicators provide visual status of each amplifier and output voltage of the power supply module. 

• Completely modular frame contains components on the both front and back sides of the chassis for easy access to modular amplifiers, plug-in attenuators and equalizers. 

• Amplifier modules offer excellent input and output return losses: minimum 20dB (50-870MHz) with typical values as high as 24dB to 26dB 

• Amplifier modules offer excellent frequency response and distortion characteristics at high output signal levels.  

• To achieve the required gain and slope for a particular application, plug-in attenuator and equalizer sockets are positioned at the input and output stages of the amplifiers circuit.

• Chassis and amplifier housings are designed for optimum heat dissipation.

• Available options include amplifier module -20dB test ports and -48V DC powering.
