Frequently Asked Questions
- Q1: What is the primary difference between a Power Tapper and a Power Splitter?
- A: A Power Tapper is often used in long-chain DAS systems to "tap" off a small portion of energy for local antennas while allowing the majority of the power to continue down the trunk line. Unlike equal splitters, tappers are available in various uneven ratios (e.g., 10dB, 20dB) to balance signal strength across multiple floors.
- Q2: Why is the -161dBc PIM rating significant for 5G?
- A: -161dBc Low PIM ensures that the component minimizes intermodulation noise. In 5G networks with high data rates and multi-carrier configurations, even slight noise can significantly reduce throughput. Our tapper guarantees a clean signal environment.
- Q3: Can this tapper handle the new WiFi 6E bands?
- A: Yes. With a frequency range reaching up to 6000MHz, it fully supports WiFi 6E (6GHz band) and 5G mid-band spectrum, making it a future-proof solution for high-speed wireless infrastructure.
- Q4: What does Coupled Loss vs. Dissipative Loss mean?
- A: Coupled Loss is the energy intentionally sent to the coupled port. Dissipative Loss is the unintended energy lost as heat within the device. Our design keeps dissipative loss at a constant low of 0.35dB across all models.
- Q5: Is the 300W power rating for continuous use?
- A: Yes, the 300W CW (Continuous Wave) rating signifies that the device can handle high average power levels without failure, which is critical for carrier-grade base station deployments.
