Power splitters
A power splitter divides the signal equally between two, three or four outputs. Equal splitting is the choice when every antenna branch needs the same power, for example where a trunk line branches into the wings of a floor. Together with tappers, splitters are the backbone of an in-building network: where branches need different power levels, use a tapper (asymmetric power splitter).
BDC power splitters cover 380–3800 MHz, from VIRVE/TETRA to the 5G mid-bands, and handle 400 W average power. The range has 2-, 3- and 4-way models plus a riser-type 2-way splitter. Every model has 4.3-10 female connectors.
Split loss grows with the number of outputs; per-model insertion loss is in the comparison table below. Return loss is ≥ 21 dB and PIM ≤ −160 dBc on every model, both stated as guaranteed minimums – not typical values.
