In today’s marketplace, PVRs, Digital set-tops, VoIP, HSD, and a TV in every room is placing a strain on CATV signal levels. The ATP Series is designed to provide accurate signal levels to each device connected to the drop.

PPC’s cable simulators are used to correct excessive positive tilt. Typical applications include signal input correction for digital set-top converters and head-end equipment applications.

With the introduction of digital video, most set-top manufacturers specify a maximum slope factor in order to function properly. PPC’s equalizers provide a correction to excessive cable loss and passive devices without aff ecting return frequencies.

PPC’s forward path attenuators provide a fi xed level of attenuation within the downstream frequencies without affecting upstream frequencies. Typical applications include attenuation of over amplified signals generated by drop amplifiers at the first input.

PPC’s High Pass Filters are used to isolate upstream frequencies for subscribers who do not require return path services. High Pass Filters also prevent ingress noise from propagating back to the node and disrupting active upstream services. PPC’s SHP series filters represent a major technological breakthrough by being the first to offer such outstanding electrical performance in the compact Silencer® Series packaging.

PPC’s Step Attenuators provide a fixed level of fl at attenuation within the upstream frequencies only. Low value taps produce the majority of ingress and trouble calls within a typical HFC network. This is due to the lack of suffi cient reverse attenuation found in higher-value taps. Applied directly to the tap port, PPC Step Attenuators provide unity gain with all cable modems and other critical reverse transmission products like digital voice and high-speed Internet.
