Description

Blonder Tongue BIDA 550-50 Broadband Indoor Distribution Amplifier (50dB, 47-550 MHz)The BIDA 5400 series, BIDA 550 50 Broadband Indoor Distribution Amplifier by Blonder Tongue features a 47 to 550 MHz RF bandpass and a flat operating gain of 50 dB. This self contained broadband indoor distribution amplifier is designed specifically for CATV and SMATV signal distribution systems which use a cable drop as a signal source. The basic amplifier is configured for one way operation. Optional field installable diplexers and return amplifiers

The BIDA 5400 series, BIDA 550-50 Broadband Indoor Distribution Amplifier by Blonder Tongue features a 47 to 550 MHz RF bandpass and a flat operating gain of 50 dB. This self-contained broadband indoor distribution amplifier is designed specifically for CATV and SMATV signal distribution systems which use a cable drop as a signal source. The basic amplifier is configured for one-way operation. Optional field installable diplexers and return amplifiers will provide you two-way capability with either a passive or active 5-30 MHz bandpass return. Passive return configurations require only the diplexers, whereas active return requires installation of both the diplexers and the amplifier.

The BIDA 550-50 amplifier has a flat operating gain of approximately 50 dB. Lower operating gains can be achieved by adjusting the variable attenuator. This model can be attenuated over a range of 15 dB. Gain and slope controls are located on the front panel for easy set-up and adjustment. Two -30 dB back-matched test points are provided to allow testing without service interruption.

In applications where input signals are too high or where greater cable equalization is necessary, this BIDA amplifier can be reconfigured by using optional plug-in attenuators and cable slope equalizers to meet particular requirements. Push-pull hybrid IC modules enable the amplifier to operate at high output levels while retaining low distortion characteristics. The aluminum chassis is designed to provide excellent heat dissipation thus allowing operation at high ambient temperatures with no degradation of performance.

Love the look, but Narrow
Size: 10, Color: Marine Blue/Woodbury/Ivory
What is for my son-in-law, he loves them, but had to switch them out twice because they run very narrow. He doesn’t have a wide foot at all so be careful when you purchase. Other than that they are a good looking shoe and he really likes them.

Awesome value shoes
Size: 11.5, Color: Ivory/White/British Tan, Size: 11.5, Color: Ivory/White/British Tan
These white Cole Haan shoes are just what I hoped for, the color is a perfect off-white, somewhere between cream and pure white, which gives them a more refined look. The quality feels excellent, they’re very comfortable right out of the box, and the laces feel durable and well-made. They fit true to size with no issues. Based on this experience, I’ll definitely be buying more from this brand in the future especially at this price point.

Very nice, but sizing is inconsistent
Size: 10 Wide, Color: Ivory/White/British Tan
All of these Cole Haan shoes are extremely well made and I like the styling. On the other hand, the sizing is very inconsistent and you may end up having to do a lot of returns trying to find the right size. Then if you get a different color of it, you may find the sizing different yet again. If you find your right zie, they are really nice shoes at a very reasonable price for the quality.
