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 tech-
nologies 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 MHz split where the 5900 series has a 42/54 MHz
(reverse/forward) split. Both series leave the factory set for passive
return path operation. Active return path operation can easily be
accomplished by reconfiguring a few internal jumpers.
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 elec-
trical outlet not be in close proximity to the desired amplifier location.
