MediaManifold™ Expander:
MM-DE-12
Introduction
The MM-DE-12 is a 12-zone expander for the MM-DS-12 MediaManifold High-
Definition CATV Distribution System. Adding the MM-DE-12 Expander to the
MM-DS-12 provides a total of 24 zone outputs. Each zone includes independent gain
and tilt adjustments, and supports up to 300 feet of homerun RG6 coaxial cable
feeding a single television or set-top box. Complete setup of the MM-DE-12 is
facilitated through the MM-DS-12 front panel.
The MM-DE-12 is intended to mount to a wall surface beside or beneath the
MM-DS-12, and connects to the MM-DS-12 using three short ‘F’ cables (included).
An additional input is provided for an external modulator to enable signals from
security cameras and other video sources to be combined and distributed along with
the main cable TV channels.
NOTE: The MM-DE-12 is not designed for use with MoCA-based multimedia
networks or devices.
