TII 220 Ground Loop Isolator for Cable TV applications

TII 220 Ground Loop Isolator for Cable TV applications

• Prevents unwanted ground loop current on the shield of the cable, which can cause noise and degrades picture quality.
• Designed to work with today's high bandwidth CATV networks. Unit comes standard with "F" type Male-Female connectors.
• Unique In-Line design is impedance matched to 75 ohms and is virtually transparent to all analog or digital bi-directional signals transmitted from 5MHz to 1.0 GHz.
• Product shows superior RF performance operating at a frequency range of 5 - 1,000 MHz. Maximum insertion loss is 1.5 dB. at 1 GHz.
• Robust design includes a metallic housing that provides excellent RFI shielding of > 85 dB. Housing is environmentally sealed against moisture and humidity.

TII's cutting edge Coaxial Shield Isolators are used to help eliminate the hum and horizontal bars caused by ground loops. When two or more devices are connected to a common ground through different paths, ground path noise or a ground loop can occur. This is actually quite common in home cable systems, even those that are well designed. The result of a ground loop is audio hum and/or horizontal bars in the TV picture. The TII Coaxial Shield Isolator creates an electrical "open" on the coaxial shield. The isolator allows cable signals to pass regardless of whether a ground differential exists between the two connection points. Its flat frequency response is ideal for most all cable TV applications. It is virtually invisible to cable boxes and cable modems. With 40+ years of experience in surge protection, TII produces the best products to protect your broadband equipment. Buy with confidence from a well-established name in the the business. When properly installed, this product isolates one device from the rest of the cable ground system. It is fully compatible with ALL cable TV services such as Cable Modems, ON-Demand video, Digital Cable, and more.
