VSA - 600L Series of Residential Amplifiers

Features:
I I I I I I I

Indoor/Outdoor Bi-directional Amplifier Continued Performance after 6kV Power Surge New LED Power Indicator Hermetically Sealed F Ports Triple Plated Corrosion Protection 5 Year Industry Leading Warranty Blocking Capacitors for Digital Performance

The VSA-600L series is the most technically advanced and popular of Viewsonics residential amplifiers. Providing operators the highest level of reliability, Viewsonics protects both the input and output ports of the VSA-600L series for continued, reliable operation even after multiple high power surges. Available in one, four and eight output configurations, the VSA-600L series is a bi-directional solution to servicing multimedia homes. A low noise, GaAs MMIC amplifies the downstream signals while the upstream band is internally diplexed as a passive return path. Utilizing surface mount technology (SMT) to eliminate hand wound air coils, Viewsonics brings high technology into the service drop and ensures the highest performance, repeatability, quality and reliability. The VSA-600L series of amplifiers are powered by +12VDC adaptors attached directly to the DC input or optionally with remote power inserting couplers (PIC). All power adaptors are potential sources of ingress, so the 600L series of amplifiers have a separate power chamber to prevent power-line ingress from interfering with the RF portion of the circuit. A long life LED indicates +12VDC and is also mounted within the power chamber, maintaining isolation of any ingress to the RF circuit. The output of the Viewsonics power adaptor is protected against accidental short-circuits, and will automatically resume operation once the short is eliminated. Ensuring a long life that remains esthetically pleasing, even in harsh salt air environments, the VSA600L series utilizes only high quality materials. The housing is electroplated with three different layers of corrosion protection after which, the F-ports are 100% tested for size and environmentally sealed to 30psi. The electroplated brass back cover is soldered into place. The corrosion protection includes a plated stainless steel grounding screw.

Features:
I I I I I

870MHZ or 750MHZ Bandwidth 32dB Gain Power Doubling Hybrid ICs 45-90 VAC Switching Power Supply Reversible Motherboard Module Wire Mesh and Silicon Rubber Gaskets for Maximum RFI Protection Optional Hybrid Reverse Amplifier

The Viewsonics Line Extenders are designed for high gain applications utilizing cable line power and are made with highest quality components and latest manufacturing processes for a long, reliable life. The VSA-LE is used in both indoor and outdoor applications where several amplifiers, operating at high signal levels, are cascaded but 110/220 VAC is not available or practical for powering. The weatherproof housing is strand or wall mounted and incorporates a wire mesh gasket to ensure excellent RFI protection. Network designs may require an amplifiers input not always be on the left side, so the motherboard has been designed for 180 degree rotation, allowing the input and output to be easily reversed and simplifying the routing of hardware connections. All test points are accessed inside the housing for protection from corrosion and to maintain precision, including a return path injection port for upstream testing. The amplifier can be powered from either the input or output port, has fuse control of through power passing, and a separate fuse of the internal, high efficiency, 45 to 90VAC switching power supply. All pads and equalizers are Phillips type plug-ins, available in different preset values, and match those used in the Viewsonics VSA-833 indoor amplifiers. Internal, dual hybrid ICs utilize power doubling technology for achieving high gain, low noise, and excellent beat performance necessary for systems with large numbers of carriers. In addition to the plug-in pads and EQs, an optional automatic gain control circuit that uses a high frequency pilot carrier, can be installed for systems with changing levels, such as loss due to wide temperature swings. The return path diplex frequencies must be specified at the time of ordering with a range of values for plugin pads and EQs available. The amplifiers are shipped with a passive return path jumper installed. An optional 20dB hybrid return amplifier that is field installable is also available.
