The Amphenol Broadband IPA2151LB-VF and IPA2151L3-VF-85 are single-output coaxial amplifiers delivering 15 dB of forward gain for cable TV and broadband RF distribution. They increase downstream signal levels to help compensate for attenuation introduced by coaxial cable runs and downstream distribution components.
Each model combines one amplified RF output with a passive return path. This design amplifies downstream signals while allowing upstream communication to pass without active return amplification. Local DC powering supports installation near an available power source.
The two models offer different MoCA features. The IPA2151LB-VF includes MoCA Bypass. The IPA2151L3-VF-85 features an integrated MoCA filter that provides MoCA band isolation from the cable plant, with a 102–1002 MHz forward frequency range and a 5–85 MHz passive return range.
Choose the model whose frequency ranges and MoCA configuration match your cable system. Both provide the same core combination of 15 dB downstream gain, a single amplified output and passive return operation.
