Review on πŸ”Š High-performance Amplifier: Cable TV RF Broadband with 8dB Gain, Four Output, 5-1002Mhz - Includes Power Adapter by Michael Hughes

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Excellent DOCSIS 3.0 and MoCA compliant amplifier.

My cable modem can never deliver full bandwidth without an amplifier. I've had a situation where I could use a single port 15dB amp with output splitters, or this amp with few or no splitters. It's DOCSIS 3.0 compliant, so it's also ready for new high-speed technologies as they come to your region or are about to come. I've done full testing and found this amp to be MoCA compliant with four outputs between the output ports, meaning the devices on each port can communicate with each other. Other. I wasn't sure what to expect from MoCA as I figured this amp would be better suited to a duplex or quad home environment. Note that Antronix amplifiers can be remotely powered via a common output with the unit if you purchase their ARPI-2000 power supply. . This is useful when you don't have a power plug near the amplifier and you can't run another cable just for the power supply. If you don't use all four outputs, you'll need to buy multiple 75 ohm terminators like this one for the unused ports. . They only cost a few dollars for a pack of 10.
