This item has been discontinued and replaced with
the SR-2A
2-Way Amplified Splitter Kit.
This amplified splitter is optimized for use with all satellite radio
systems. It includes the adapters, cables and accessories to permit operation of
two satellite radios from a single antenna. In order to maintain the proper RF
link budget for the radio, the splitter loss at 2.35 GHz has been compensated by
an amplifier. This amplifier is powered by the DC voltage that is supplied by
any of the radios connected to its output. For XM this nominal voltage is 4.5
VDC. For Sirius the nominal voltage is 6.5 VDC. The splitter is compatible with
either satellite radio system. The splitter will pass the DC voltage supplied by
a radio at any output port to the splitter input port. This will provide power
to any antenna connected to this port for the antenna’s internal low-noise
amplifier (LNA). Standard RG-6 cable with male F-connectors (not supplied) can
be used to extend the output cable lengths. The splitter has 7 dB of excess gain
to permit output extensions of up to 60 feet. If cable extensions greater than
60 feet are desired, we recommend using Pixel Model SBA-1 line extension
amplifier(s) with the splitter. One amplifier (for example) placed at the input of the splitter will permit total cable lengths of up to 175 feet
from each individual output port to the radios.
This splitter can also be cascaded with Pixel Models SRSC-2 and SRSC-4
couplers.
