The 

PLM860SAW

modulator features a digital phase-locked loop (PLL) and saw

filter for superior adjacent channel performance and drift-free channel stability.

This professional grade modulator maintains a full 55dBmV output on channels

23 to 135 while accommodating HRC and IRC offset frequencies (216-860

MHz). The 

PLM860SAW 

is a very cost effective method to expand an existing

cable system beyond 300MHz. The 

PLM860SAW

was designed to extend

channel capacity of systems using PCM55, PLM55, or PCM55SAW modulators.

Its SAW filter provides superior sideband filtering, adjacent channel compatibility,

and spurious free output. High quality modulation and RF level control poten-

tiometers assure years of reliable operation. Easy lab retuning enables inventory

savings and less down time. The 

PLM860SAW

is shipped with all internal

adjustments preset. FCC Docket 21006 offsets are standard.

Pico Macom

backs up this product with its industry leading 5-year limited warranty.
