Fracarro TV SAT Tap Off 4 way Tap Loss -15dB Model: TAPS415 (287317), 5-2400MHz for MATV, SMATV, L-Band Systems

Product Overview
The Tap-Off 4 way (Tap Off 4 way) FRACARRO TAPS415 (Code 287317) is a professional-grade, 4-output horizontal directional tap designed with a compact top-down architecture and F-connectors. It covers an expansive frequency spectrum of 5 to 2400 MHz, making it the perfect choice for distributing Return Channel, terrestrial television (TV), and satellite (SAT) signals in multi-family buildings or hospitality systems.

Technical Features
- 4-Output Layout: Features four distinct subscriber tap outputs to distribute signals to up to four rooms or devices from a single unit.
- 15 dB Constant Tap Attenuation: Provides a steady 15 dB tap loss across all operating frequencies, ensuring balanced, predictable signal strength at each of the four subscriber lines.
- Low Insertion Loss: High transmission efficiency on the main trunk line, with loss minimized to only 2.5 dB in TV and lower satellite bands, and a maximum of 4 dB at the highest satellite frequencies (2150 to 2400 MHz).
- High Output Isolation: Ensures that the connected outlets are isolated from each other (up to 30 dB in Return Channel, 25 dB in TV, and 22-24 dB in SAT frequencies) to avoid mutual interference.
- DC Pass-Through Configuration: Direct current (DC) is allowed to pass strictly on the main backbone line (Through Output to Input) to feed LNBs or amplifiers, while the subscriber tap ports are DC-blocked for device protection.
- Premium Metal Casing: Built inside a durable die-cast zinc housing that ensures high-performance shielding. With dimensions of 84 x 64 x 27 mm, it is compact enough to fit in any wall junction box and comes prepared with an earth connection and wall-mounting holes.

Applications
- Middle-Floor Distribution: In vertical cascaded multi-dwelling networks, the TAPS415 (15 dB) is ideal for middle-tier floors. It taps off a balanced, moderate level of signal for four adjacent apartments while allowing the primary signal to pass downward with minimal attenuation.
- 4-Room Cascaded Balancing: In buildings with a 4-room-per-floor layout, installers can balance the system by using the TAPS415 (15 dB) on middle floors, while putting high-loss taps (TAPS420) on top floors and lower-loss taps (TAPS412) on bottom floors. This ensures equivalent signal quality for every resident in the building.
- Tenant Isolation: The robust electrical isolation and DC-blocked tap ports ensure that any electrical faults, noise, or signal reflections originating inside one tenant's apartment cannot affect the main building headend or degrade the picture quality of neighboring rooms
