VGO 939-1G/
VGF 939-1G
Latest GaAs-MMIC technology
Innovative operational concept:
- Settings via slide switches
Device settings can be reproduced exactly
Fewer plug-in cards and variable attenuators
needed
-
-
Very high output level at lowest intermodula-
tion products
Built-in active return path with various setting
possibilities
15 MHz high pass can be activated in the
return path
Ingress Control Switch (ICS)
Monitorable with HMS or DOCSIS (option)
Insert position for additional functions in the
forward path (e.g. de-emphasis)
Bi-directional test socket on amplifier input
with inductive coupling
Directional coupler test socket on amplifier
output and in return path
Test signals can be coupled in for the return
path

VOS 952-1G/953-1G
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
r
eturn path can be
operated either actively or passively.
