Cisco Forward Cable Equalizer

Cisco GainStar Forward Cable Equalizers

Cisco GainStar Forward cable equalizers produce a tilted frequency response opposite of that produced by coaxial cables. To achieve the desired output tilt, they are normally used during station balancing to counteract the tilt produced by coaxial cables. An equalizer's "dB value" indicates the amount of tilt (in dB) that the equalizer produces from 54 MHz to the rated upper frequency. The rated upper frequency (862 MHz or 1 GHz) and rated equalizer (EQ) range are marked on the side of each equalizer. A PAD with the same value (in dB) is selected when a certain EQ value is needed. These accessories are used in the amplifier and line extenders only.
