"Plug-and-Play" redefined Electronic set-up of all significant parameters, automatic levelling (VGP product range only) and option of remote configuration via HMS or DOCSIS monitoring minimise commissioning and maintenance times. Thanks to the copy function supported by the WTE 10, all settings can be saved and transferred to other devices. As well as speeding up commissioning on site, not having to use plug-in cards for attenuation and slope simplifies logistics and reduces storage costs. Commissioning of uncontrolled amplifiers without a signal meter it couldn't be easier The setting is made with the WTE 10 WLAN adapter. The adapter provides a convenient means of configuring the connected amplifier via a PC, tablet or smartphone (a Web browser with active support for Java script is required). Thanks to automatic levelling (VGP product range only), it takes only a few steps to put the compact amplifiers into operation: Simply enter the required output level for the upper and lower pilot frequency and start the levelling process The device automatically sets itself to the required values in just a few seconds. The technical data is adjusted to the optimum settings. After this, manual fine adjustment is possible at any time Next, automatic pre-adjustment can be started on the return path, too Levelling takes even less time to complete on subsequent devices. The copy function transfers the settings directly

18 18 I Compact amplifiers I Uncontrolled equaliser amplifiers Uncontrolled equaliser amplifiers VGE G2 and VGE G The reasonably priced VGE 1x85-1Gx equaliser amplifiers are ideal for supplementary compensation of cable attenuation in the case of a network upgrade. The forward range starts at 85 MHz and goes up to 1218 MHz, depending on the type. A slope of 7.7 or 10 db on the upstream cable network resulting from long cable lengths is compensated. As the amplifier requires no manual set-up, it offers a plug-andplay solution that is easy to install. The return path, which goes from 5 to 65 MHz, is passive with a low attenuation of max. 2.5 db. Power can be supplied to the amplifier by connecting a remote feed to the input or output. The input or output can also be used to supply looped-through remote feed currents up to 7 A to the upstream or downstream amplifiers. NEW 1.2 GHz Illustration similar
