AMPLIFIERS

PCT's miniature MA2 drop amplifier series has improved performance and ultra-low noise
amplification of broadband signals for subscriber drop installations. The MA2 series provides
better return loss performance, enhanced shielding protection, and IEEE B3 6kV, 3000 amp
combination wave surge withstand on all ports for superior lightning protection. All “F” ports
also include PCT’s patented Digital Seizure Mechanism (DSM) for superior center conductor
retention, electrical performance, and additional protection against transient surges.
Products are available in 1, 2, 4, and 8 port models.
