The PCT-VC-9P bypass distribution amplifier will boost your digital TV and HDTV signals, increasing their overall signal strength. The PCTVC9P bypass distribution amplifier can be used in HDTV, CATV, off-air, analog and digital RF distribution applications where high performance and reliability are required, but are specifically engineered for use in cable telecommunications networks providing cable telephone services. The PCTVC series bypass amplifier will have a port that is specifically marked as the “bypass port”, frequently by saying “To eMTA” on the label. This port is specifically designed for the cable modem or the MTA (Multimedia Terminal Adapter – the device cable operators use to provide cable telephony service).

The PCT-VC-9P bypass amplifier is professional grade and meets stringent US and international standards, including those developed by the Society of Cable Telecommunications Engineers (SCTE), who creates international standards for many TV signal distribution products. The PCTVC9P is a high quality eight amplified outputs plus one passive output bypass distribution amplifier with passive return, which means the distribution amplifier does not have any amplification for signals in the return path frequency range (5-42 MHz). The return path frequency range is used in cable telecommunications networks to allow cable modems and set top boxes to communicate back through the cable network. PCT distribution amplifiers have precision machined F ports (conforms to SCTE standards) that are gold plated with beryllium copper construction to provide optimal distribution and amplification of your RF signals.
