The Drake Passive Distribution Splitters and Directional Couplers are professional-quality, economically priced units for indoor or outdoor use in both residential and commercial buildings or headends where RF signal distribution up to 1000 MHz is required. The signal splitters (combiners) are available in 2-, 3-, 4-, or 8-way configurations. The directional couplers (taps) are available in one, two, and four tap configurations with tap values of from 6 dB to 30 dB. Input return loss and port-to-port isolation are maintained to provide minimal insertion loss and signal reflections. The units incorporate shielded metal cases to control leakage of desired, internal signals and to prevent intrusion of undesired, external signals.
