Bolton Technical BT512402 Coupler for 689-2700 MHz (6, 10, or 15 dB), 50 Ohm

Bolton Technical Couplers for 689-2700 MHz, 50 Ohm, (6 dB, 10, or 15 dB)

A Bolton Coupler (also called a Tap) is a wideband cellular accessory. Taps can be used to split the amplified signal for multiple inside antennas with minimum signal loss. They are designed to be used in setups where a smaller amount of signal is desired in one area and a larger amount in another - in other words, they are useful for dropping antennas at various intervals during a long cable run.

The BT512402 is a 6 dB coupler. 6dB couplers have -6 dB of loss at the point of the antenna drop, but also has -2.15 dB insertion loss. This means it is very good for the end of long cable runs, or for passive DAS systems with shorter cable runs.

The BT512419 is a 10 dB coupler. 10dB couplers have -10dB of loss at the point of the antenna drop but has only -0.98 dB insertion loss. This means it’s better used earlier in a cable run than a 6dB coupler, and for any active or hybrid DAS system.

The BT512624 is a 15 dB coupler. 15 dB couplers have -15 dB of loss at the point of the antenna drop but has even less insertion loss at -0.14 dB. Your link budget for the overall cable run will only be marginally impacted by this coupler, but the -15 dB of loss it gives to the antenna is more than other couplers.
