DC Blocked Splitters
- A DC blocked splitter is an electronic device used to divide a single antenna feed into multiple outputs. It blocks direct current (DC) while allowing radio frequency (RF) signals to pass through. This feature prevents unwanted DC signals from entering the system, which can be crucial for the protection of sensitive equipment. Commonly used in VHF and UHF MATV systems, such splitters are equipped with F-Type connectors and operate in the 5-1000MHz frequency range. They are designed with fully-screened diecast housings to reduce interference and signal loss.
- DC blocked splitters are utilised in systems like MATV for efficient distribution of TV and radio signals from one central antenna to multiple receivers in large structures such as hotels or apartment complexes. They are also ideal in residential or commercial environments where a single antenna source needs to feed multiple televisions. The DC blocking feature is critical for protecting sensitive equipment from potential damage due to unwanted DC currents, while ensuring high-quality signal distribution and clear reception.
