The Motorola STARLINE
provide 28 through 30 dB of operational gain (depending on model) to a single output. The high
gain makes the BLE*/* series ideally suited for a hybrid fiber-coax system as well as
conventional tree and branch designs. The BLE*/* series of line extenders comply with IEEE
C62.41-1991 and Bell Core GR-1098 specifications for overvoltage testing as recommended by
Cable Labs. The latest BLE*/* platform is also FCC and CE approved.
Features of the BLE*/* include:
750 MHz or 870 MHz power doubling technology in enhanced gallium arsenide (E-GaAs) or
