ARF120H RF AMP

ARF120H Series 1.2 GHz Two-way GaAs RF amplifier is part of ACT Advanced Fiber Deep HFC solution, which has been designed to deliver interactive CATV, high capacity DOCSIS and other advanced services. The cost effective last mile amplifier platform helps operators expand bandwidth of their existing HFC network while minimizing capital investment. The ARF120H amplifier has compact housing with embedded RF module and is suitable for MDU, FTTB or FTTC applications with output to 107 dBμV. The ARF120H 1.2 GHz GaAs RF amplifier adopts E-pHEMT Push Pull distribution technology, that guarantees the excellent CTB and CSO performance and suitable for upgrade to DOCSIS 3.1. ARF120H RF amplifier has low power consumption and supports local or remote power options. Combined with ACT’s converged headend AH1000 optical system and AON node series, ARF120H is an ideal product to provide MSOs with an economical, flexible HFC access solution.
