UStec Modules

The following section describes UStec modules more in depth for those who

want more information about the components that make up their UStec sys-

tem. UStec products are constantly evolving as we look to improve them and

adapt or design new technologies.

The latest and most up to date information on UStec products are available in

the technical support section of the UStec website.

Panel Modules

The tecGate panel assembly is assembled at the factory in either a

stock

or a

user-deﬁned

conﬁguration. When the panel is purchased as part of a system,

on-site conﬁguration is not required; simply terminate the wires and plug

them into the correct ports on the tecGate panel.

Some on-site conﬁguration may be required when upgrading tecGate Servers,

for example, making the connections to install a new module(s). The table

below lists the available modules, part numbers, and applications.

The tecGate panel modules are described on the pages that follow.

Ampliﬁed Coax Module CX-AMP16

The CX-AMP16 ampliﬁer is the 16 port version of the highly regarded CX-

AMP8.

This ampliﬁer has a single CATV input with 16 outputs. The outputs are sepa-

rated into banks of eight. One bank of eight outputs features +7.5 dB gain to

compensate for the longer cable runs that are typical in larger networks that

utilize the CX-AMP16. The second set of outputs are +4.5dB. As with the CX-

AMP8, the goal is

unity gain –

reproduction of incoming signal strength at the

tecPort.

The AMP16 also has 2 inputs on the rear of the device (labeled CX-DM8) for

the connection of the internal leg of the network, and 2 spare input (labeled

AUX) for future integration.

The module also provides 6 KV surge protection for all outgoing signals.

Ampliﬁed Coax Module CX-AMP8

The AMP8 looks similar to the CX-AMP16, but instead of a second bank of

eight OUTPUTS there is a bank of eight INTERNALS. This allows connection

of up to 8 dual coax runs to be terminated directly to the ampliﬁer.

The 8 outputs are

unity gain

– when tested, signal strength at the TV port on

the tecPort should be similar to the incoming signal strength at the CATV in

port on the AMP8.

UStec Structured Wiring Users Manual

The 8 inputs on the face of the AMP8 are for the connection of the internal

(white) leg of the coax network. Signals returned to the internal inputs are

combined ﬁrst with each other, then with incoming CATV signal. This com-

posite signal is then fed into the ampliﬁer for distribution on the TV (black)

leg of the network.

There are 3 additional internal inputs on the rear of the ampliﬁer for connec-

tions to DSS multiswitches, camera modules, or future devices. These inputs

function identically to the front internal ports.

The module also provides 6 KV surge protection for all outgoing signals.

Internal 8-Way CX Module CX-DM8

The CX-DM8 module is used with the CX-AMP16. This module serves as a

connection point for the internal (white) cables.

The CX-DM8 combines up to 8 internal (white) cables into one composite

feed and passes it to the “CX-DM8” input on the rear of the ampliﬁer so

they can be combined with other incoming signals and the CATV signal for

insertion into the ampliﬁer.

CX-4X4U & CX-4X4U.1 Distribution Modules

Intended for the MDU and small production market, the CX-4X4U module is

a cost effective yet extremely high quality cable distribution system. It has all

the functionality of the CX-AMP8 and CX-AMP16 modules, including surge

suppression.

The CX-4X4U.1 is the same module as the CX-4X4U mounted to a larger face-

plate.

As indicated by its part number, the CX-4X4U provides termination points for

up to 4 dual coaxial runs. Unlike the AMP8 and AMP16 however, the 4X4U is

a passive (non ampliﬁed) module.

These modules also have 6kV surge protection.

Satellite Multiswitch CX-DSS4

The CX-DSS4 is a dual LNB multiswitch for use with standard (non-HDTV)

DSS dishes and receivers. It features dual LNB inputs, and four outputs for

connection of up to four non-HDTV, DirecTV compatible tuners. The CX-

DSS4 can be mounted in the UX-10x enclosure in two different places

depending upon the panel module used

The CX-DSS4 also has a terrestrial port, labeled “to ampliﬁer internal input.”

This port is connected to any of the internal inputs on a UStec coax distribu-

tion module (CX-AMP8, CX-AMP16, CX-4X4U) when the internal (white)

leg of the dual coax network is used in bi-directional mode.

Installers familiar with satellite multiswitches typically use the terrestrial port

to combine an off-air antenna or cable with satellite signals over one coax to

the room location.

UStec uses a different approach. Instead of using the terrestrial port for cable,

we use it as an internal return path. This is done for one very important rea-

son

−

Quality

. Satellite equipment is not designed to handle broadband cable

connections. In fact, most satellite equipment is designed to handle 16 or less

terrestrial channels, and few if any cable systems in North America ﬁt this

description. Instead, UStec uses the terrestrial side for feeding modulated sig-

nals back to the tecGate panel

Satellite MultiSwitch Module CX-DSS58

The CX-DSS58 is an eight output HDTV compatible multiswitch. When used

with an HDTV compatible dish, any combination of up to eight HDTV and

non-HDTV receivers may be used.

The CX-DSS58 is designed to use the internal cables bi-directionally; by dis-

tributing satellite signals out to eight rooms while maintaining the ability to

send modulated signals back on the same coax. Modulated signals that return

to the multiswitch are ampliﬁed to ensure good modulator signal strength,

then routed to the ampliﬁer.

The CX-DSS58 is included in iSAT series servers for installation in homes that

subscribe to both CATV and DSS. It takes three module bays in the panel, and
