Danish manufacturer Triax has just introduced a brand new range of highly efficient products designed specifically for today’s digital age.

To compliment its existing range of masthead distribution amplifiers, a new 4 way amp has been introduced which is designed to cover the frequency range of 470-862MHz. It has a gain of 15dB whilst maintaining a low noise factor of only 2.0dB, thus keeping unwanted noise to a minimum.

It requires 12-24DC/30mA to operate correctly and this power can be supplied to the unit through any one of the four outputs making it one of the most flexible mastheads on the market. The amp is housed in a fully screened, traditional blue case with a black strap for secure fixing to the mast. It is also fitted with F connectors to ensure solid connections to all cables. The MFA322 is quality assured and meets all the requirements of EN50083-3 quality Grade 2.

The 16 Way Multi-tap is also new to the Triax range. It is ideal for most MATV installations where a ‘star wired’ system is in place (all cables running back to one location). Each of the tap’s 16 outputs has a different loss value ranging from 13dB to 25.5dB, covering a frequency range of 5-1000MHz. Other features include a low insertion loss, high return loss and good isolation between ports. The unit is housed in a high quality, zinc die-cast case and all terminals are 75ohm F connectors.

Triax has also introduced two new outlet plates which are both fully screened. The diplexed version supports TV and Radio signals with DAB coming out of the radio port. Insertion loss at UHF is <1.5dB and <2.5dB for radio. The triplexed outlet plate supports TV, radio and satellite. It has a greater insertion loss than the diplexed plate with <2.5dB at UHF and <3.0dB for radio. The insertion loss at Sat IF is <3.0dB. Both outlets have UK style front face plates and allow multi-directional cable entry.
