Blonder-Tongue BIDA-86A-43 Specifications
BIDA 5800 Series
Two-Way Broadband Distribution
Amplifiers w/ Active Return Path
The BIDA 5800 Series with Active Return Path is a completely self-contained broadband indoor
distribution amplifier designed for CATV and SMATV signal distribution systems that use a cable drop as a
signal source.
Push-pull and power-doubling hybrid amplifier technologies are available for the BIDA 5800 Series with RF
bandwidths ranging from 49-550 up to 1000 MHz with 30 or 43 dB gains.
All BIDA 5800 models have a return path bandwidth of 5-36 MHz and can be configured for either a
passive (factory default) or integrated active return. When field configured to an active return, the BIDA
5800 Series have a full gain of 20 dB. All models can be attenuated over a range of 10 dB in the forward
path and 18 dB in the return path. Gain and slope controls are located on the front panel for easy set-up
and adjustment. Two -30 dB back-matched test points are provided to permit testing without interruption
of service.
The aluminum chassis is designed to provide excellent heat dissipation thus allowing operation at high
ambient temperatures with no degradation of performance or reliability.
