The Pico Macom PHC-24G is a professional re-broadcast grade rack-mounted high-isolation passive headend signal combiners available in 24channel configurations. These units combine the outputs from multiple modulators and processors into a single common broadband output. The high quality directional coupler design enables high isolation between input ports, providing minimum interaction between digital and/or analog input sources. Also, low insertion-loss ensures optimum carrier-to-noise ratio and superior picture quality. The passive design of the PHC24G combiner make it ideally suited for bi-directional applications, such as cable modems, remote audio/video origination, or other applications where remote signal origination is returned to the headend. Both units can also serve as high quality rack-mounted high-isolation distribution splitter networks.
