Blonder-Tongue BIDA750-30, BIDA86A-30 Specifications

❍

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.
