Tim - Thats the frequency range for reverse path from customer to the company -
(sometimes up to 100 or 200 in some systems) but probably a bad coax shield
break somewhere .Not sure of the technology today but I was in a RF Module
group at Moto Semi and we built millions of CATV hybrids for people LIke SA and
Magnavox and CCor et al . The amps themselves were broadband push pull
cascodes. Transformer coupled in and out . I have no idea what they are using
the reverse path for anymore and at the time all the power supplies were linear
- not switchers but I suspect thats all changed. .At any rate it SHOULD be all
bottled up. GL with cable company - hope its better than COX here in Phoenix.
