Distribution Slope Equalizers

9-DSE SeriesA distribution slope equalizer compen-sates for slope in a feeder line to preventexceeding the maximum allowablefeeder slope levels.

Flexible design allows you to use the 9-DSE in 750 MHz or 1 GHz systems, depending on the model.

Dual gaskets keep RF signals pure and protect the circuitry from extreme environments.

Environmental coating provides excellent corrosion resistance.

Heavy AC power chokes and high voltage capacitors provide protection from system power surges and lightning strikes.

Distribution slope equalizers (DSE) compensate for slope in a feeder line. Since all carriers are reduced in amplitude, a DSE is only used when the feeder slope levels exceed the maximum allowable. Typically, you would use a DSE when there is a narrow window allowed between the levels of the high and low carriers in your network.In the forward path, the 9-DSE corrects for cable slope with its built-in equalizer. Install a 9-A series attenuator to adjust the

return signal without affecting the forward path. The 9-A attenuator can be ordered in several values, allowing maximum control of the signal level.Within the circuitry of the 9-DSE, internal triplexing isolates the AC, return, and forward frequencies. The 9-DSE is available in several bandsplits and comes with either an 8 or 11 dB equalizer, depending on the model. Refer to the ordering information for a description of the models available.

The components of the 9-DSE have a power handling capability of 8 Amps @ 90 VDC and VAC up to 60 Hz. The 9-DSE also meets ANSI/IEEE C62.41-1991, Class B, 2500 V surges.The 9-DSE is made to survive extreme weather conditions, with a synthetic weather gasket between the faceplate and cover. The hous-ing also has an RFI gasket to protect against signal leakage.
