TMA’s via external DC Bias Injec-
tors. The Power Distribution Unit
monitors the health of the TMA’s
and is preprogrammed with the
window of acceptable operating currents of all CCI TMA’s. LEDs and dry Options:
relay contacts indicate the operational status of each active channel. Out-  24: +24 Volt Input only
put channels are powered if a compatible TMA is connected at the time
the front panel user button is pressed or when the unit is turned on.  48: -48 Volt Input only

Features and Benefits

Communication Component Inc.’s Power Distribution Unit (PDU) is available to power up to six
tower-top masthead amplifier units and to provide the all the monitoring and alarm functions for the
system. The PDU is housed in a single (1U) 1.75” x 19” rack and contains dual redundant power
supplies that provide a regulated DC supply voltage on the RF coax for the tower-top masthead am-
plifiers.

Features and Benefits include:

 Alarm relay for each TMA plus a summary alarm
 Power supply redundancy
 Universal input range (supports both +24V or -48V input voltages)
 19 inch rack mounting
