DBS / SMATV AMPLIFIERS

SOLUTION

RELATED CONSIDERATIONS

• Wide bandwidth . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 54 to 2400 MHz forward

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2 to 40 MHz return

• High Input Ability ................................................ -14 dBm

• DC & 22 kHz/DiSeQc passing ...................... low insertion

• Indoor / Outdoor case ........................ die cast aluminum

• Multiple power options .................................... 12 to 29 V

DBS Ka/Ku, ATSC off -air or SMATV signals are required

at multiple locations connected via coax cable. Signal

loss must be off -set.

Model LA144R may be placed after a DBS dish, ATSCantenna or SMATV headend to extend the signals the

equivalent of 150 feet of RG-6 cable.

LA144R amplifiers have a passive 2 to 40 MHz return

channel. They may be used to extend SWM8, SWM16

and SWM32 switch outputs.

Model LA144R-T ships with a power supply. Model

LA144R has no power supply and is intended to be

powered from the output coax cables or the looped

power supply of a model 4SATPL-T polarity locker.

LA144R-T

DIRECTV® recommends that the distance between

receiver and dish be less than 150 feet of solid

copper RG-6. At distances greater than 150 feet they

recommend a DC voltage booster and a line amplifi er.

Model 4SATPL-T provides LNB powering and strong

control signal to lock the dish. Without the locker, the

SWM16 which must power the LNB.

Model LA144R amplifi ers may be powered by the

polarity locker for installations with long switch to

dish or receiver to switch installations.

Model LA144R amplifi ers may used to amplify SL5LNB inputs to model 4SATPL-T power inserter. The

amplifi er off sets 150 feet of RG-6.

For DIRECTV® D2 Advantage MDU systems, model

SD SWME2 splitters provide quick expansion of (2)

SWM8 or SWM16 switches. The example illustrates

an (8) apartment building with each apartment

having up to (4) tuners.

When bulk service is not provided, cost can be

saved by installing switches as active subscribers

are added. Initially, the system might have a single

SWM16 serving (4) apartments. (50% penetration)APT 1 APT 4APT 3APT 2
