TERMINATOR, SCREW-ON F PORT CAP, 75 OHM, NON DC BLOCKING 5-2300MHZ FOR CABLE TV & OTA APPLICATION - 4 PACK

PRODUCT APPLICATION;


THE TERMINATOR IS USED TO COMPLETE THE RF CIRCUIT. WHEN A SPLITTER OR AN AMPLIFIER WITH MULTIPLE OUTPUTS IS USED IN AN CABLE TV OR OTA INSTALLATION, THERE IS ALWAYS RF ENERGY ON ALL THE OUTPUT PORTS. TO OPTIMIZE THE PERFORMANCE, THAT RF ENERGY NEEDS SOMEWHERE TO GO AND THE INSTALLED TERMINATOR DOES THE JOB.

THE CABLES, SPLITTERS, AND AMPLIFIERS USED IN ANTENNA AND CABLE INSTALLATIONS HAVE WHAT IS CALLED A CHARACTERISTIC IMPEDANCE OF 75 OHMS. BASICALLY, IMPEDANCE IS THE OPPOSITION THAT AN RF NETWORK PRESENTS TO CURRENT OR VOLTAGE CHANGE. IF EVERYTHING IN THAT RF NETWORK HAS AN IMPEDANCE OF 75 OHMS, THEN THERE WILL BE MAXIMUM TRANSFER OF RF ENERGY. AN UNTERMINATED RF PORT HAS 0 OHMS IMPEDANCE. WHEN RF ENERGY REACHES AN UNTERMINATED PORT, 100% OF THE ENERGY IS REFLECTED BACK INTO THE NETWORK, WHICH CAN CAUSE PROBLEMS WITH TV MONITORS, CABLE MODEMS AND MOCA CONNECTED DEVICES.
