General Instrument MB-86S/XGXX-HXX-XXX- XC-BXX Min Bridger Amplifier
Condition: New
Product Overview: The MB‑86S/XGXX‑HXX‑XXX‑XC‑BXX is a rugged, high-gain Mini‑Bridger (MiniBridger) amplifier used in cable TV (CATV) and broadband RF networks. Developed by General Instrument (later Motorola), this compact trunk amplifier provides substantial gain while operating within harsh utility environments. Engineered for structured installations, it supports sophisticated features like thermal/equalization control and integrated test points for streamlined diagnostics and reliable signal distribution.
Features
High Gain Output: Offers strong forward path amplification, typically around 40–45 dB operation, similar to the MB87S series
Frequency Band: Passband typically spans 52 to 870 MHz, matching patterns seen in similar MiniBridger models.
Flatness and Equalization: Maintains flat response (±0.75 dB) and supports adjustable Bode slope or thermal equalization, ensuring consistent performance across variable conditions
Built-in Diagnostics: Equipped with –20 dB test port(s) for convenient signal monitoring without disrupting the RF path
