MB*/* Installation and Operation Manual
Section 2
Overview
The MB*/* is a dual-output amplifier while the MB*/S* is a single-output amplifier used in
CATV distribution systems. Both models accommodate installation of the optional return
amplifier to enable two-way signal flow. All models are high-gain, three-stage hybrid amplifers
designed to drive both a limited cascade and a local distribution system. The MB*/* is powered
by the 60/90 Vac cable supply and can be configured to pass this power to additional amplifiers
and line extenders.
The standard model MB*/* includes an amplifier module with an integrated power supply which
is normally furnished complete in the model MB-HSG housing as illustrated in Figure 2-1:
