Please log in for more thread options The EDA-2100 is fine for cable modems and digital cable. The EDA-2100 has a uplink path (it's a bi-directional amp) that is compatble with digital services. I am running a EDA-2100 as well as a EDA-2400 for cable distribution in my house. The amplifiers are working fine with my digital cable service and cable modem as well. If you need to amplify your uplink, Electroline has a dedicated uplink amp as well. Also, FYI I believe Rogers Cable, one of Canada largest cable companies uses Electroline amps in their residential installs. P.S. You can buy Electroline amps really cheap on eBay. If you're not into eBay, RadioShack also carries bi-directional cable amps for a decent price. -- Lucas Tam (REMOVEnntp@rogers.com) Please delete "REMOVE" from the e-mail address when replying. http://members.ebay.com/aboutme/coolspot18/ | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

I based my answer on the information found on the given web page address. And that information web page did not specify that is indeed bidirectional amplifier. The product web page could have been more informational on this... I only later found te comparision page at http://www.cabletvamps.com/comparison%20chart.htm that gives some more information. -- Tomi Engdahl (http://www.iki.fi/then/) Take a look at my electronics web links and documents at http://www.epanorama.net/ | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Actually it does specify it's bi-directional ; ) Return Passband 5-42 MHz 5-65 MHz In esscence all bi-directional amps forward these frequencies back to the headend. Non bi-directional amps don't have a return bandpass : ) -- Lucas Tam (REMOVEnntp@rogers.com) Please delete "REMOVE" from the e-mail address when replying. http://members.ebay.com/aboutme/coolspot18/ | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

In the USA, it's 5-42MHz. A 5-65MHz amp would be absolutely useless. CIAO! Ed N. Lucas Tam wrote: > Actually it does specify it's bi-directional ; )

To my knowledge 5-65 MHz is used on some cable TV networks in Europe. I think HTV in Finland uses it, at least at some parts of it's network. Having more bandwidth for return channel allows more bidirectional traffic in the network. > CIAO!
