1GHz 100dB EMI Digital
Hardline Passive Distribution Components
Tru-Spec’s TMP series CATV grade hardline multi-taps offer superb performance for present and future requirements for digital-
transmission services. Insertion loss, isolation and return loss performance ensure high-quality analog and digital bi-directional
signal transfer. All multi-taps are designed with removable and interchangeable tap plates, allowing “on-the-fly” tap reconfigu-
ration while maintaining continuous thru-power and RF downstream signal during tap plate removal. Power compatibility with 30,
60, and 90Vac systems with a current capacity up to 15A make them ideal for most CATV applications. Neoprene sealing at the “F”
ports and tap-plate and epoxy coating provide excellent durability in any environment.
•5 MHz to 1 GHz bandwidth performance.
• Interchangeable faceplates provide “on-the-fly”
redesign for maximum time savings and reduced
costs.
• Continuous RF signal and power pass-thru
during tap-plate removal ensures uninterrupted
system services.
• Bi-directional power rating to 15 amps @ 30,
60 and 90Vac provide compatibility with most
systems.
•F-ports triple sealed to 15psi and neoprene
tap plate seal provide watertight operation in
harsh conditions.
• Housing top stainless steel mounting hardware
for easy installation.
• Tap output ports employ capacitor coupling
for effective DC voltage blocking for improved
hum modulation and intermodulation performance.
• Performance tests conducted comforming with
SCTE standards IPS TP-201, 202 and 203.
