About the Product

The Dense Intelligent Multi-Access (DIMA) is a headend splitter/combiner assembly in a 1RU or 5RU 19 inch chassis. Each module can integrate 3× double splitters, 2× four splitters, 1× eight splitters or directional coupler modules with varies values.

The DIMA platform is designed to operate as an RF splitter or combiner in both forward and return path configurations. It can be deployed in virtually any HFC environment and each port’s link attenuation can be independently adjusted to balance RF levels.

A single DIMA platform can be fitted with up to 160 input / output ports with every RF port having 1000 Vdc of voltage blocking. It also features excellent RF characteristics spanning 5-1000 MHz with each port having 30 dB of isolation.

  • Excellent RF characteristics spanning the entire 5-1000 MHz range 
  • High density RF combiner or splitter with up to 160 input/output ports 
  • Test point (-20 dB) 

 

 
  • Plug-in attenuation pad on every port to balance RF port levels 
  • Isolation more than 30 dB per port
  • Each RF port includes 1000 Vdc of voltage blocking 
  • Available module configurations:
    3 x 2, 2 x 4, 1 x 8, Directional coupler

Note:
(1) The not used ports are terminated by 75 Ω load.
(2) Between the input port and the output port.
(3) The test point is a unidirectional coupler used for monitoring the input of a splitter (5Axx); for 5Cxx, the test point’s deviation may vary due to differences in insertion loss with different modules. Example: 5Axx: -20 ± 1 dB; 5Cxx: -(20 + module insertion loss) ± 1 dB.
(4) Minimum between all the ports.
(5) 5Axx/5Cxx is between port and port, and 51xx is between the output port and the coupling port.
(6) Between the input port and the coupling port.
(7) Currently only a 9 dB directional coupler is available.
