Televes KVE2025RK65 Broadband Amplifier 20/25dB with Return Path 5-65MHz 20dB (534212)

In cable TV distribution networks, signal loss over long cable runs and through splitters can degrade picture quality and cause channel dropouts. The Televes KVE2025RK65 broadband amplifier solves this by boosting both forward and return path signals, ensuring reliable reception across the entire spectrum.

Who is it for

This amplifier is ideal for professional installers and homeowners who need to amplify CATV signals in buildings with multiple outlets or long coaxial runs. It is particularly suited for networks requiring bidirectional communication, such as those with interactive TV or cable modem services.

Main features

• Forward path gain of 25 dB with adjustable attenuation (0-20 dB) and equalization (0-18 dB) to compensate for cable losses.
• Return path gain of 20 dB for upstream signals (5-65 MHz), ensuring two-way communication.
• Wide forward frequency range from 65 to 1000 MHz, covering all standard cable TV channels.
• High output level of 105 dBµV (3 carriers) for distortion-free distribution.
• Low noise figure under 7 dB to maintain signal quality.
• Die-cast metal housing for durability and shielding.
• F-type connectors for standard coaxial connections.
• Powered by 230 V AC with low power consumption of 5 W.
