The ZAPD-2DC+ 2way power splitter/combiner offers excellent RF performance in a small package. The DC pass through feeds DC on the coaxial center conductor from Port 1 to the Sum to support remote amplier power. Built in a rugged shielded case, the ZAPD-2DC+ is available with three connector options: BNC, SMA and N-Type. The ZAPD-2DC+ is well suited tower mounted ampliers, GPS and satellite distribution or any other application where a high performance splitter with DC pass through is required.

DC Pass through

Advantages
Enables remote powering of antenna mounted ampliers while splitting the RF signal. Eliminates additional cable runs. Designed to handle up to Amp at 25 Volts, the ZAPD2DC+ can support a wide variety of remotely powered RF equipment. Operating over the 950 to 2150 MHz Band, the ZAPD-2DC+ is ideally suited for L- Band Satellite Communications Applications. In addition, this broadband coverage supports additional applications such as GPS, Cellular PCS and DCS With 0.25 dB typical Insertion Loss, the ZAPD-2DC+ can be used in sensitive receive paths with minimized concern for additional Signal to Noise Ratio degradation. Industry leading Phase and Amplitude balance enables this power splitter to be an ideal candidate for phase and amplitude matched or tracked systems.
