Standard TSC-series feature epoxy-
sealed back cover plates for effective
EMI-RFI shielding >-90dB to reduce
signal ingress
TSC-SB-series feature a solder-back
cover-plate to provide maximum EMI-
RFI shielding >-140dB eliminating
signal ingress and guarantee distortion

High tap-to-output isolation provides
spurious carrier protection and mini-
mizes undesired channel interaction,
reducing picture distortion
Yellow-chromate plated TSC-series
and tin-coated TSC-SB-series over
zinc-alloy diecast housing ensures
excellent ground bonding and long
corrosion-free service life in
indoor/outdoor applications
High-performance printed board cir-
cuitry provides low intermodulation
distortion to ensure excellent digital
performance
Capacitor coupling circuitry at all
ports provide effective DC voltage
blocking for improved hum modulation
and intermodulation
1-inch centered 1/2˝ long precision
machined F-connector threads ensure
improved port-to-connector interface
and accommodate external security
devices
Internal seizing pins provide improved
connectivity to connector center lead
TSC-series and TSCW-series designed
for mounting in TruSpec’s BP1 wall-
plate for easy installation
Performance tests conducted
conforming with SCTE standards IPS
TP-201, 202, 203, 403A, 406
Manufactured to precise performance standards, TruSpec’s TSC-series 1GHz professional-
commercial grade CATV Directional Couplers provide superb performance unsurpassed by
competitors’ equivalent models. Applications range from residential to MDU installations in
international and domestic cable distribution systems.These taps are used in applications
requiring the bulk of the signal passing through one port while reduced signal passes from the
tapped port.This feature ideally suits TSC-series taps for systems using looped or tree and
branched architectures. Our advanced printed board circuitry includes special ferrite core material
guaranteeing unsurpassed insertion loss, optimal isolation and return loss performance to 1GHz
ensuring high-quality analog or digital signal transfer. All TSC-series F-port threads are precision
machined, ensuring easy connector installation and removal, and improved port-to-connector
interface. High retention internal seizing pins ensure excellent connectivity to connector center
lead. Regular TSC-series back-plates are epoxy-sealed to provide superior RFI shielding >-70dB,
while TSC-SB series directional couplers feature a solder-back cover-plate to provide the highest
possible EMI-RFI shielding >-140dB eliminating signal ingress and providing a full environmental
seal. Both TSC-series feature a thick tin coating over a zinc-alloy diecast housing to ensure
excellent corrosion resistance. Each TSC-series directional coupler is fully tested at the factory
and certified to SCTE standards.
