Description
Channel Vision’s 15dB power injected inline amplifier provides the lowest induced noise figure available and is designed with the
future in mind. Unlike other RF amplifiers, the CVT-15PIA features a bi-directional return path for use with future interactive TV,
addressable cable box converters, and ultra high-speed cable modems.
Instructions
Step 1: Mount amplifier.
Step 2: Connect cable or antenna signal to the INPUT jack.
Step 3: Connect OUTPUT jack to distribute signal to all the TV’s in the house.
Step 4: Connect power to 12VDC input, or use PIA (power injector) for remote
power capability. Note: must use DC passive splitters.
Please Note:
The unused trunk line connector of the last outlet device in each trunk line
MUST BE TERMINATED using a 75Ωterminator (model 2101).
