Amplifier Alcad PR-310 10 dB ALCAD PR-310

Alcad PR-310 is a compact RF amplifier that provides 10 dB of gain to boost television and radio signal distribution in in-building and shared-antenna systems. It is intended to improve signal levels ahead of splits or long cable runs, helping downstream receivers achieve better reception. The small form factor and straightforward RF input/output connections make it suitable for installations where modest, stable amplification is required without complex configuration.

Advantages

The amplifier delivers a fixed 10 dB gain with stable performance across the intended VHF/UHF broadcast bands, reducing signal degradation caused by cable attenuation and multiple outputs. Its compact design simplifies mounting in distribution points or equipment cabinets, while robust RF connectors ensure reliable physical and electrical contact. The device operates passively in terms of user adjustments, which minimizes the need for on-site tuning and reduces the risk of misconfiguration.

Suitable for

• Boosting weak antenna signals before splitting to several TV or radio receivers
• Compensating for signal loss on long coaxial cable runs inside homes or small commercial premises
• Use in shared-antenna systems for apartment buildings or multi-dwelling units to equalize downstream levels
• Simple amplification points in distribution networks where a fixed gain stage is required

Key specifications

• Gain: 10 dB nominal
• Frequency range: suitable for terrestrial television and FM radio bands (VHF/UHF)
• Form factor: compact enclosure for mounting in distribution points or cabinets
• Connections: standard RF input and output coaxial connectors for easy integration with existing cabling
• Operation: fixed gain amplifier with stable performance and no user-adjustable controls

How to use

Install the amplifier in the signal path between the antenna and the distribution split or the first receiver. Connect the antenna feed to the RF input and the downstream coaxial cable to the RF output, ensuring tight and clean connections. Power the unit as specified by the installer or system design if external power is required; the product is designed for minimal configuration and will provide its rated 10 dB gain once correctly connected. Place the amplifier near the distribution point or in an equipment cabinet to minimize additional cable lengths that could introduce further attenuation.

Usage recommendations

Use this amplifier when the received antenna signal levels are low or when compensating for losses caused by long coax runs and multiple splits. Avoid excessive total system gain that could overload receivers; measure signal levels after installation and add attenuation if necessary to keep levels within receiver input range.
