Overview
The Ecoline+ series of Splitters & Taps have been
especially developed to meet the needs of the European
market and distinguishes itself from any other range
in the business. With the Ecoline+ a new standard of
splitters and taps has been set fully equipped with a
number of innovative technologies. The products within
the Ecoline range excel both in electrical and mechanical
performance. It is a really complete series, containing all
housing types that could be found in the previous Ecoline
and Ruby-line series. It has an easy to install design with
a compact housing of which some models are stackable.
All F-connector contacts meet the SCTE standards
(ANSI SP 406-1998) and are of unequalled quality. The
material of the inner spring has been designed specially
for connecting coax cables with an inner core of 0.56 to
1.30 mm, even when varying thicknesses are connected
after each other.
The intermodulation performance, which is an important
factor in high level return path signals, has been greatly
improved through a newly developed ferrite and specially
designed circuits. The high frequency shielding exceeds
Class A requirements (CENELEC EN-50083-2:1998) over
the whole frequency range from 5 MHz to 1000 MHz.

Modem Safe
Modem Safe is a highly effective surge protection solution
for sensitive network and in-home CPE. Based on passive
circuits, the technology does not rely on discharge tubes,
extending the lifespan of the solution.
• Blocks high and low voltage pulses and unwanted DC
voltages
• Prevents internal ferrites within the product from
becoming magnetised (avoiding deterioration in the
performance of CPE)
• Drives fewer reported faults
• Improves customer service
• Reduces truck rolls
CPD Safe
CPD (Common Path Distortion) is well known for
producing signal interference on networks. It is caused by
electrolytic corrosion or the oxidisation of dissimilar metals
when in close contact. CPD Safe technology protects
against CPD.
• Removes a primary cause of CPD
• Reduces signal interference on the network
• Drives fewer reported faults
• Reduces truck rolls
• Improves customer service
