Blonder-Tongue BIDA86A-30 Broadband Indoor Distribution Amplifier 30 dB, 49-860 MHz, Integrated Active Return (5-36MHz)

The BIDA 5800 Series are professional quality, two-way broadband indoor distribution amplifiers. These amplifiers are ideal for multi-channel RF distribution systems for which the input source is a "cable drop" or the output of a MATV/SMATV/CATV headend.

The BIDA 5800 Series features models having RF bandwidths of 550, 750, 860 and 1000 MHz. Push-pull and power-doubling hybrid amplifier technologies are available on the series. The BIDA 5800 series are factory equipped for 2-way operation, and it has a 36/49 MHz split. The series leaves the factory set for passive return path operation. Active return path operation can easily be accomplished by reconfiguring a few internal jumpers.

The BIDA 5800 Series utilizes an external power transformer providing 26 VAC to the amplifier. This enables the amplifiers to be remotely powered via low voltage AC wiring should a 120 VAC electrical outlet not be in close proximity to the desired amplifier location.
