LOWELL, Mass., Dec. 12, 2006 - M/A-COM, a business unit of Tyco Electronics and a leading provider of wireless radio frequency (RF), microwave and millimeter wave components, today announced that the company has joined the Multimedia over Coax Alliance (MoCA®), a non-profit mutual benefit corporation to develop and promote specifications for the transport of digital entertainment and information content over in-home coaxial cable. "M/A-COM's membership in MoCA will augment our position as the leading 'one-stop-shop' that enables our customers to meet the radio frequency challenges in the growing 75 ohm coaxial cable technology industry," said Harry Quinlan, global manager of Broadband Products, M/A-COM. "Whether the industry requirement is for low loss transformers, high performance low cost filters, attenuators or low noise amplifiers, we enable our customers to stay on the cutting edge of coaxial cable technology development." The goal of the MoCA is to create specifications and certify products that will tap into the vast amounts of unused bandwidth available on the in-home coax without the need for new connections, wiring, point of entry devices or truck rolls. It is anticipated that the first MoCA enabled products will be released within the next year. Key M/A-COM products that support the coax cable market include: MAFL-007898: Diplex Filter for CATV/LAN + WAN MAFLCT0081: MoCA WAN Filter MAALSS0034: Low noise amplifier MABA-007871: Low loss LAN+WAN balun transformer MAFL-008070: MoCA low pass filter MASWSS0136: SPDT switch in SC70 package MASWSS0167: SPDT switch in 1.2x1.5mm PQFN package AT-267: Step attenuator MAADSS0008: RoHS compliant version of the AT-267 For more information about M/A-COM's coaxial cable products or to view datasheets and supporting technical documents please visit www.macom.com.
