This amplified splitter is optimized for use with all satellite radio systems. It includes the adapters and accessories necessary to permit the operation of two satellite radios from a single satellite radio antenna. In order to maintain the proper RF link budget for the radio, the splitter loss at 2.35 Ghz has been compensated by an internal amplifier. This amplifier is powered by the DC voltage that is supplied by any of the radios connected to its output. The splitter will pass the DC voltage supplied by a radio at any output port to the splitter input port. This will provide power to any antenna connected to this port for the antenna's internal low-noise amplifier (LNA). Standard RG-6 cable with male F-connectors (not included) can be used to extend the output cable lengths. The splitter has 10db of excess gain to permit output extensions of up to 90 feet. If cable extensions greater than 90 feet are desired, we recommend using Model SBA-1 line extension amplifier(s) with the splitter. One amplifier placed at the input of the splitter will permit total cable lengths of up to 200 feet from each individual output port to the radio. This splitter has been designed with an output impedance that replicates that of a satellite radio antenna so that the radio will operate in its normal mode without the need for external impedance terminations devices.
We recommend the use of a Pro-500 or Pro-600 satellite radio antenna with this splitter. For use with a standard home antenna the additional purchase of this adapter is required.
