Dual cavity, low power, outdoor combination line amplifier package for cable telecommunication systems

A dual cavity, low power, outdoor combination line amplifier package for cable telecommunication systems, comprising:

• a dual-cavity main frame, cast in one piece and sectioned into an upper cavity and a lower cavity;
• a hardline entry cover, having a hardline receptacle PCB with a power supply fixed thereon, electrically and environmentally sealing on one side of the upper cavity;
• a tap plate cover, having a tap plate PCB fixed thereon and mounted with a plurality of taps, electrically and environmentally sealing on the other side of the upper cavity with the taps facing externally;
• a gain module heatsink cover, having a gain module PCB and a passive PCB fixed thereon, electrically and environmentally sealing on one side of the lower cavity;
• and
• a smart app accessories cover, having a smart access cover PCB fixed thereon, electrically and environmentally sealing on the other side of the lower cavity,
• wherein one cavity is electromagnetically, acoustically, and thermally isolated from the other;
• the hardline receptacle PCB comprises AC, RF, and pass-through circuitry, providing electrical connection to coaxial cables in the downstream direction and the upstream direction to receive and transmit RF signal groups;
• the tap plate PCB comprises AC accessory, taking samples of RF signal groups and dividing them over a plurality of subscriber ports in the downstream direction, and combining RF signal groups from a plurality of subscriber ports and coupling the combined RF signal groups to a main RF signal port in the upstream direction;
• the gain module PCB comprises gain circuitry, providing amplification of the RF signal groups in both downstream and upstream;
• the passive PCB separates, equalizes, filters and recombines RF signal groups in the downstream and upstream;
• the smart access cover PCB comprises signal conditioning circuitry, providing enhanced signal conditioning;
• electrical and RF transition from one cavity to the other is implemented by a cavity transit assembly therebetween.
