Toner Cable LPA-860-36G Two-Line Extender Amplifier User Manual
Two-way line extender amplifier, Specifications, Features

The LPA-860-36G is a two-way CATV line exten-
der amplifier designed for outdoor applications.
The amplifier has a forward bandwidth of 53-860
MHz and a reverse bandwidth of 5-42 MHz.
The LPA-860-36G contains GaAs hybrid mod-
ules ensuring high forward output levels with
very low distortion.
The LPA-860-36G’s rugged aluminum housing is
heavily ribbed for heat dissipation. -20 dB RF
test points at input and output for both the for-
ward and reverse paths employ directional cou-
pler circuitry for accuracy. The amplifier is
equipped with an auto-ranging 35-90 VAC power
supply, surge protection and has 15 amp power
passing capacity.
