M/A-COM Tech announces new broadband diplexer for CATV applications

February 22, 2013

 

M/A-COM Technology Solutions Inc., a supplier of high performance analog semiconductor solutions, announced a new broadband diplexer, specifically designed for CATV Customer Premises Equipment (CPE) applications.

The MAFL-011013 is a high performance 42/54 MHz diplex filter ideal for real estate constrained CPE applications. The MAFL-011013 delivers excellent temperature stability and repeatability in a small 27x13mm package, allowing the customer quicker design turns. Unlike competing discrete and CAN solutions, the filter is a 75Ω surface mount diplex filter device that boasts excellent insertion loss and isolation.

“The MAFL-011013 is ideal for customers looking for a diplex filter with repeatable high performance in a small outline package”, said Graham Board, Product Manager. “This 42/54 MHz split targets North American cable and is a cost effective filtering solution for constrained CPE applications.”
