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. |
