Introduction
E3 is a compact dual output amplifier with wide 16…42 dB gain adjustment
range making it suitable for both distribution purposes and line extender use.
The E3 amplifier supports 1.2 GHz frequency range which ensures fulfilment of
all future bandwidth needs. The upstream signal path is flexible and it can be
updated to 204 MHz.
Adjustments use electrical controls thus eliminating the need of the usual plug-
in attenuators in the system set-up. Other standard features include reliable
power supply, built-in return path amplifier as well as an efficient surge and ESD
protection.
Ingress switches can be remotely controlled via FSK communication of an
optional E61 RIS receiver. This one way communication channel also enables
remote update of software.
Local configuration of E3 is done via its built-in display and pushbutton user
interface. E61 module can be used to add USB interface for configuration using
a Windows PC or tablet equipped with CATVisor Commander software or
Android mobile device equipped with Teleste Commander software. Wireless
Bluetooth connection can be established with AC6901 USB to Bluetooth
adapter.
