M/A-COM Technology Solutions Introduces New 8-Way Splitter for CATV Applications

New Splitter Features ‘Default-On Loop-Through Path’ that Provides Continuous Signal

Lowell, MA, July 28, 2011 - M/A-COM Technology Solutions Inc. (M/A-COM Tech), a leading supplier of high performance analog semiconductor solutions, introduced today an innovative 8-way active splitter for CATV applications. The MAAM-010237 belongs to a larger family of Broadband Active Splitters and targets multi-tuner set-top boxes, home gateways and other broadband, internet-based Customer Premises Equipment (CPE) applications. Featuring a default-on loop-through path, the MAAM-010237 allows for access to the cable signal even when the CPE box is powered down.

“M/A-COM Tech continues to lead the way with innovative, high performance products for CATV Customer Premises Equipment,” said Graham Board, Product Manager. “The MAAM-010237, 8-way active splitter with default-on loop-through path, reduces the front-end design complexity, component count, and real-estate requirements in today’s “green” multi-tuner gateways.”
