With the trend of more single family houses being built, Electroline introduces the Flat-Top amplifier to meet the expectation of having cable service in every room in the house. The EDA-FT 08100 Flat-Top is designed for large houses with a cable or off-air drop in every room. The flat top configuration keeps the wiring more compact and neater in both outdoor subscriber box or wall-mounted applications and eliminates the technical problems associated with trying to fit a standard 8 port amplifier into a box that is too small creating crushed and kinked cables that wreak havoc with digital services. Electroline Flat-Top amplifiers are the only amplifiers to offer a configuration with all F-connectors on the bottom edge of the amplifier, facing down. Also, Flat-Top amplifiers come with an active return path which makes managing return signal levels straightforward. With 0 dB of loss in the return path, interactive services can be deployed in any room without rewiring.

- Waterproof housing and SCTE compliant 360° F-terminals.
- Rated at IEEE 6 kV 3 kA combination wave standard.
- Short-circuit protected wall adapter.
- 10-year manufacturer’s warranty.
Customer Feedback
This RF amplifier/splitter provides strong signal to 8 sources without interfering with access permission. My cable modem access speed has increased, not because of this product but because previously it was connected through a 4 way splitter. This product is industrial grade, looks tough and works well. Standard cable wire connections on the unit and the low voltage power adaptor gives great flexibility in locating the device by allowing you to run coax cable from a power source to the unit.
Digital services require a return signal for access permission by the cable company. The return signal must not be amplified.
- Splitters reduce both incoming and outgoing signals.
- Long runs also reduce signal strength
- Amplifiers coupled with splitters still interfere with return signal.
- Cable modems should be split off before everything.
- 75 ohm Terminators should cap off all unused connections.
- Install a lightning surge protector for your incoming line. Make sure it’s grounded.
- Unsupervised Outsourced Cable Service companies do not have the customer’s best interest in mind. I have a collection of 4 unsuccessful splitters that were installed by their technicians.
