In-line RF Amplifier ShiverPeaks 86310-3A 47–2400 MHz Gain 16–20 dB

The ShiverPeaks 86310-3A in-line RF amplifier operates across 47–2400 MHz and provides gain between 16 and 20 dB to raise weak terrestrial and satellite signals. Designed for installation directly in coaxial lines, this compact amplifier supports signal boosting for receivers, set-top boxes and simple distribution runs. The housing and connector arrangement make it suitable for indoor or weather-protected outdoor locations where additional signal margin is needed without complex reconfiguration of the cabling.

Advantages

This in-line amplifier delivers a stable gain of 16–20 dB over a broad frequency range, enabling improved reception for both terrestrial and satellite sources. It accepts standard 75 Ω coaxial connections via two F-type female couplings and includes DC pass capability to supply LNBs. Low current consumption plus integrated LNB power supply support makes it convenient for satellite installations that require DC feeding. The unit also provides approximately 6 dB return loss at input and output and maintains ripple within ±2.5 dB for predictable performance across the band.

Suitable for

• Boosting weak TV and satellite signals in single-satellite or terrestrial installations
• Inline use with set-top boxes and DVB receivers to improve signal margin
• Small distribution networks where a single amplifier in the coax feed is required
• Installations requiring LNB DC pass and 22 kHz signalling compatibility

Key specifications

• Frequency range: 47–2400 MHz
• Gain: 16–20 dB
• Impedance: 75 Ω
• Current consumption: 80 mA plus LNB supply capability
• Return loss (input/output): approx. 6 dB
• Gain ripple: ±2.5 dB
• Connectors: 2 × F-type female
• 22 kHz signalling compatible and DC-pass for LNB power

How to use

Install the amplifier inline on the coaxial feed between the antenna or dish and the receiver. Ensure proper orientation of the F-type connectors and tighten hand-tight with an appropriate tool to secure connections without over-torquing. If the installation includes a satellite LNB that requires power, allow DC feed through the amplifier; confirm that the receiver or external power inserter provides the required 14–18 V DC. After powering the system, check signal strength and adjust the amplifier placement or additional attenuation if local overload occurs. Keep the unit in a weather-protected location or inside equipment housing if placed outdoors.

Recommendations

For reliable performance, use high-quality 75 Ω coaxial cable and maintain short, direct cable runs where possible. Avoid placing the amplifier near strong transmitters or unshielded power sources to reduce interference. Verify receiver settings and LNB voltage requirements (14–18 V DC) before enabling DC pass through the amplifier.
