Toner TDA 35-862/42 Cable TV Amplifier

Description

An amplifier is a great way to compensate for signal loss due to multiple TV hookups.
This model is bi-directional so interactive services such as on demand content provided by your cable company will continue function as before.
If you have questions on how this amplifier may be used or how to connect it, we can help. Just message us with a brief description of how many TVs you have and how the signal is split. We can even pre-set the amplifier gain before shipping to ensure proper operation.
How do i know if I need an amplifier?
Generally, most residential customers don't need an amplifier because cable companies ensure the signal to the home is high enough to support 3 or more sets. However, if you have a large number of sets or your home has multiple TV outlets you may need an amplifier.
Cable TV signals are a bit different than electrical outlets. With electrical outlets power is not consumed by an open or unplugged outlet.
With cable signals power is consumed by the splitting devices used to connect multiple outlets or TVs. It does not matter if the TV is on or even if it's connected to the cable. If the splitter is in place it is consuming power.
With today's digital devices, a poor signal level is better tolerated than with the older analog signals. In analog devices the picture would begin to degrade as soon as the signal level began to drop. With digital sets internal error correction will overcome a low signal and maintain a perfect picture up to the point where correction is no longer possible. This is called the cliff effect. Once error correction begins to fail the picture may pixelate or break up completely. You may even experience intermittent loss of sound, or the sound may lag the picture making the show look as if it were lip synced. If you are experiencing any of these symptoms you may need an amplifier.
Here is a recap of what to look for.
·
Do you have more TV sets or TV ou
tlets than the normal home?
·
Do you see intermittent pixelation?
·
Are some channels more likely to pixelate than others?
·
Dose the sound lag behind the picture?
Of course other problems may also cause these symptoms, but you shouldn?t overlook low signal as the cause.
These amplifiers are great for residential applications as well as in multi unit dwellings including Apartment Buildings, Hotels, Hospitals and Sports Bars.

The Toner two-way apartment house type amplifiers with active return are broadband indoor GaAs-Fet /
Push Pull distribution amplifiers designed for 1 GHz RF distribution systems such as those in Cable
Television Apartments, Hotels, Hospitals and other applications where a high quality, low noise figure
amplifier is necessary to amplify the signals in both the forward and return paths.
Amplifiers are all designed with flat operational gain of 35 dB in the forward bandwidth and 18 dB in the
reverse bandwidth. They have an input equalizer in the forward bandwidth for balancing, a forward 20 dB
gain control and a 20 dB reverse gain control.
The amplifiers are powered by a plug in wall type 6 VDC power transformer 117 volt input (included).
230 volt input models are available from the manufacturer.
