VOS 138/RA

The VOS 138/RA is a remotely powered home amplifier for modern HFC networks. It operates in the frequency range of 47/85 to 1006 MHz and offers switchable gain of 40/34/30 dB. Thanks to GaAs MMIC technology, high output level, and an efficient switching power supply, it is suitable for high-performance home distribution systems with demanding requirements for signal quality and energy efficiency. The rotary switch operating concept enables simple, precise, and reproducible level adjustment. Integrated return path functions, test jacks, surge protection, and flexible adjustment options support professional use in weatherproof locations.
