Specifications
The BIDA 5400 Series are professional quality, broadband,
two-way capable, indoor hybrid distribution amplifiers.
These amplifiers are ideal for multi-channel RF distribution
systems for which the input source is a “cable drop” or the
output of a MATV/SMATV/CATV headend.
The BIDA-5400 Series is available in either 550 or 750 MHz
operation, optional field installable diplexers and return
amplifers are are used to provide either an active or passive
5-30 MHz return. Passive return configurations require only
the diplexers, whereas active return requires installation of

Features & Benefits
The BIDA 5800 and 5900 Series are professional quality, two-
way broadband indoor distribution amplifiers. These amplifiers
are ideal for multi-channel RF distribution systems for which
the input source is a “cable drop” or the output of a MATV/
SMATV/CATV headend.
The BIDA 5800 Series features models having RF bandwidths
of 550,750, 860 and 1000 MHz. The BIDA 5900 Series
is available in 860 MHz bandwidth. Push-pull and power-
doubling hybrid amplifier technologies are available on the
two series. Both the BIDA 5800 and 5900 series are factory
equipped for 2-way operation. The 5800 series has a 36/49
forward) split. Both series leave the factory set for passive
The BIDA 5800/5900 Series utilizes an external power
transformer providing 26 VAC to the amplifier. This enables the
amplifiers to be remotely powered via low voltage AC wiring
should a 120 VAC electrical outlet not be in close proximity to
the desired amplifer location.
