Product Summary
Revision History & Reason
This is the first issue of the Instruction Manual.
Product Series, Application & Description
HPC series consists of 5-1000 MHz passive RF combiners designed for use in a
headend to combine the output of up to 32 single-channel devices such as
modulators and processors. HPC is available in 8-, 12-, 24-, or 32-port
models.
All HPC models feature a compact design, high isolation between ports, low net
combining loss, and RFI shielding for minimized egress/ingress interference. A
front-panel -20 dB test port (75-ohm “F” type connector) allows testing of the
unit’s output without interrupting the service.

Blonder Tongue Laboratories, Inc. (BT) will at its sole option, either repair
or replace (with a new or factory reconditioned product, as BT may determine)
any product manufactured by BT which proves to be defective in materials or
workmanship or fails to meet the specifications which are in effect on the
date of shipment or such other specifications as may have been expressly
agreed upon in writing (i) for a period of one (1) year from the date of
original purchase (or such shorter period of time as may be set forth in the
license agreement specific to the particular software being licensed), with
respect to iCentral™ (hardware and software) and all other software products
(including embedded software) licensed from BT, (ii) ) for a period of one (1)
year from the date of original purchase, with respect to all MegaPort™, IPTV

respect to all other BT products. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in some
cases, the warranty on certain proprietary sub-assembly modules manufactured
by third-party vendors and
contained in BT products and on certain private–label products manufactured by
third parties for resale by BT are of shorter duration or otherwise more
limited than the standard BT limited warranty. In such cases, BT’s warranty
with respect to such third-party proprietary sub-assembly modules and private-
label products will be limited to the duration and other terms of such third-
party vendor’s warranty. In addition, certain products, that are not
manufactured but are resold by BT, carry the original OEM warranty for such
products. The limited warranty set forth in this paragraph does not apply to

workmanship or fails to meet the specifications which are in effect on the
date of shipment or such other specifications as may have been expressly

original purchase. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in some cases, the warranty
on third party software and on certain proprietary sub-assembly modules

for Refurbished/Closeout Products. In such cases, BT’s warranty for
Refurbished/Closeout Products constituting such third party software, third-
party proprietary sub-assembly modules, and private-label products will be
limited to the duration and other terms of such third-party vendor’s warranty.
In addition, notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) certain Refurbished/Closeout
Products that are not manufactured (but are resold) by BT, carry the original
OEM warranty for such products, which may be longer or shorter than the BT
limited warranty for Refurbished/Closeout Products. All sales of
Refurbished/Closeout Products are final.
