8227 GPS Antenna Preamplifier

GPS Antenna Preamplifier - Model 8227

 

Product Overview

The GPS Antenna Preamplifier, Model 8227, is an in-line amplifier that is required whenever long antenna cable lengths reduce or weaken the GPS signal below the receiver’s recommended minimum input level. The maximum cable length permitted without an in-line amplifier depends on the types of cable and receiver used.

Using Spectracom’s Low Loss GPS Antenna Cable LMR-400 Equivalant, Model CAL7xxx, a GPS Antenna Preamplifier, Model 8227, is needed whenever antenna cable lengths exceed approximately 300 feet with the NetClock®. The maximum cable distance when using the preamplifier is 700 feet.

The preamplifier is RoHS compliant.
