ICON100 Booster amplifier

Extended Spectrum DOCSIS (ESD) is one of the great opportunities for operators to get the most out of their existing hybrid fibre and coaxial (HFC) networks. However, the high frequencies up to 1.8 GHz used in these networks are tough on the existing coax cable infrastructure and insist on using the best network components.

Maintaining backward compatibility has been one of the basic design principles in the new ICON100 booster amplifier. Although it supports 1.8 GHz and future DOCSIS 4.0 rollouts, it can also be used in lower frequency networks. The ICON100 is a simple and small booster amplifier ideally used on distribution lines when the networks are upgraded to a higher frequency band and compensation for increased cable loss is needed. As the ICON100 requires no level adjustments, it offers an easy to install solution that can also act as a line equalizer. The amplifier is remotely powered and supports high feed through current. Get a closer look at how it offers outstanding performance and broadens our offering for the North American cable broadband market and its requirements.
