SSP-N SPLITTERS AND DIRECTIONAL COUPLERS
There are six models in the Motorola SSP-N
series of splitters and directional couplers:
SSP-3N, SSP-7N, SSP-9N, SSP-12N, SSP-16N, and
SSP-3-636N. These AC power-passing, two-way
devices operate within an RF passband of 1 GHz
and are enclosed in die cast 360 aluminum alloy
housings that are equipped for strand and
pedestal mounting. The SSP-N series employs a
swivel center conductor seizure mechanism and a
rotatable faceplate to ensure that the units can
be configured in a variety of input/output and
RF/AC combinations. This allows for flexible
installation and reduces the need for cable
loops. The SSP-N series is equipped with
shorting bars to reduce nuisance fuse blowing.
These shorting bars can be removed for power
blocking or replaced with fuses at the user's
option. Also avaialble is the SSP-PIN power
inserter and SSP-PIN/SP power inserter with
additional built-in surge protection.
15 AMPERE VERSIONS
Today’s advanced HFC networks require additional
current handling for centralized powering and
network powering of telephony devices. To meet
this demand all Motorola SSP passives are now
available in 15 ampere versions. The SSP-N models
are capable of handling 15 amperes continuous on
each leg. The SSP-PIN and SSP-PIN/SP power
inserters can also handle 15 amperes on each leg,
20 amperes common. These N-Series passives can
also withstand 25 amperes for two hours at 65
degree Celsius. The 15 ampere versions offer the
same features and meet the same specifications as
the standard SSP models. All Motorola passives
offer superior hum modulation performance, even at
high currents.
BACKWARD COMPATIBILITY
All Motorola SSP-N models are backward compatible to
all existing Jerrold/General Instrument SSP
housings. Upgrades can be accomplished by replacing
the faceplate. |
