Cable Drop Amp Chart

Drop Amp:

A small amplifier used to increase signal levels in a home.

Gain:

The amount of increase in signal levels provided by a drop amp is the "gain" of the drop amplifier.

Return Path:

The "return path" is used by cable operators to allow two-way communications between a cable modem or set top box and the cable network.

Active Return:

An active return drop amp has gain in the return path. These are recommended for use with cable service, but should not be used on OTA installations.

Passive Return:

A passive return drop amp has no gain in the return path. This is the preferred type of amplifier for OTA installations, and also by many cable operators.

Unitiy Gain Amp:

A unity gain drop amp has the same amount of gain as there is loss from the integrated splitters inside the amplifier housing.

MoCA:

A technology used to allow a program recorded in one room to be viewed in a different room.

Bypass:

The bypass function provides a path for signals to reach the cable modem if power is lost or the amplifier fails. This is primarily for cable telephony service.

Equalizer:

An equalizer is used to compensate for the difference in signal loss through a length of coaxial cable at different frequencies.
