M/A-COM introduces 8-way active splitter for CATV apps

M/A-COM Technology Solutions Inc. has introduced MAAM-010237; an 8-way active splitter belongs to a family of Broadband Active Splitters targeting for CATV applications, multi-tuner set-top boxes, home gateways and other broadband, internet-based Customer Premises Equipment (CPE) applications. Featuring a default-on loop-through path, the MAAM-010237 allows for access to the cable signal even when the CPE box is powered down.

"The MAAM-010237, 8-way active splitter with default-on loop-through path, reduces the front-end design complexity, component count, and real-estate requirements in today's "green" multi-tuner gateways."
