Splitters and taps EMP-Centauri are intended to push distribution systems beyond limits of single multiswitch. While splitters divide input signals equally, taps are characterized by two different sets of outputs: through (trunk) outputs with minimum loss, and tap outputs with considerably higher insertion loss.
Features of passive splitters
- offered as SAT-only devices or incl. terrestrial section
- provide DC path from straight SAT outputs to inputs
- side outputs are DC isolated
Features of active splitters
- offered as SAT-only devices or incl. terrestrial section
- slight gain with slope is provided to compensate for cable losses
- provide DC path from straight SAT outputs to inputs
Features of passive taps
- offered as SAT-only devices or incl. terrestrial section
- DC path exists between respective trunk outputs and inputs (tap outputs are DC isolated)
Features of active taps
- offered as SAT-only devices or incl. terrestrial section
- tap loss is reduced by integrated amplifiers
- DC path exists between respective satellite trunk outputs and inputs (tap outputs are DC isolated)
