| SSP-N SPLITTERS AND DIRECTIONAL COUPLERS
There are six models in the Motorola SSP-N series of splitters and directional couplers: SSP-3N, SSP-7N, SSP-9N, SSP-12N, SSP-16N, and SSP-3-636N. These AC power-passing, two-way devices operate within an RF passband of 1 GHz and are enclosed in die cast 360 aluminum alloy housings that are equipped for strand and pedestal mounting. The SSP-N series employs a swivel center conductor seizure mechanism and a rotatable faceplate to ensure that the units can be configured in a variety of input/output and RF/AC combinations. This allows for flexible installation and reduces the need for cable loops. The SSP-N series is equipped with shorting bars to reduce nuisance fuse blowing. These shorting bars can be removed for power blocking or replaced with fuses at the user's option. Also avaialble is the SSP-PIN power inserter and SSP-PIN/SP power inserter with additional built-in surge protection.
15 AMPERE VERSIONS
Today’s advanced HFC networks require additional current handling for centralized powering and network powering of telephony devices. To meet this demand all Motorola SSP passives are now available in 15 ampere versions. The SSP-N models are capable of handling 15 amperes continuous on each leg. The SSP-PIN and SSP-PIN/SP power inserters can also handle 15 amperes on each leg, 20 amperes common. These N-Series passives can also withstand 25 amperes for two hours at 65 degree Celsius. The 15 ampere versions offer the same features and meet the same specifications as the standard SSP models. All Motorola passives offer superior hum modulation performance, even at high currents.
BACKWARD COMPATIBILITY
All Motorola SSP-N models are backward compatible to all existing Jerrold/General Instrument SSP housings. Upgrades can be accomplished by replacing the faceplate.
