The 3GDA105N is a non-reclocking distribution amplifier providing economical distribution of 3Gb/s HD, HD or SD sources.

It gives five non-reclocked outputs.

Fitting in the standard Crystal Vision frames (available in 4U, 2U, 1U and desk top box sizes), this space-saving 100mm x 266mm module sits in one frame slot allowing up to 12 DAs in 2U.

It uses the RM41 frame rear module to access the one input and five outputs.

The 3GDA105N can handle all data rates up to 3GHz and easily meets the -10dB input return loss that must be achieved for 3GHz, along with the -15dB input return loss required for 1.5GHz.

There is LED indication of input and power supplies present, while the board edge controls include a manual HD/SD switch to change the slew rate on the output.

The 3GDA105N will always choose an appropriate cable equaliser for the signal type, ensuring an SD cable length in excess of 250m with Belden 8281 or equivalent, and up to 140m for HD and 80m for 3Gb/s with Belden 1694A - with no data errors.

The 3GDA105N is ideal for providing lower cost distribution for multi-standard environments, for broadcasters who need to distribute 3Gb/s now or in the near future, and for engineers who want to 'future proof' their SD or HD installations.
