The Triax TMS 9 AMP is a discontinued line amplifier previously used in satellite signal distribution systems. Here's what I found about it:

• Function: It boosts the signal strength of satellite and terrestrial signals to compensate for signal loss within the distribution system. This ensures consistent signal quality across multiple connected devices.

• Specifications: While detailed specifications are difficult to find due to it being an older product, information suggests it likely has:

  • 9 Inputs and Outputs for signal distribution.
  • Amplification of around 14dB per output, potentially with an additional overall amplifier of 17dB.
  • Adjustable attenuation (0-20dB) to fine-tune signal strength if needed.

• Cascadable: The Triax TMS 9 AMP could be cascaded with other amplifiers in the TMS line (like TMS 17 AMP or TMS 55 AMP) to extend the reach of the signal in larger systems.

Alternatives:

Since the Triax TMS 9 AMP is discontinued, consider these options if you need a similar solution:

• Triax TMSA 9 Line Amp: A possible replacement from Triax, the TMSA 9 Line Amp offers 9 inputs and 20dB of gain. It can be directly powered or via the DC input of any connected satellite port.

• Line Amplifiers from Other Brands: Several brands offer similar line amplifiers with varying specifications. Look for models with the number of inputs and outputs you need, along with the desired gain level.

Important Considerations:

• Compatibility: Ensure the chosen amplifier is compatible with your existing satellite distribution system and equipment.

• Professional Installation: While some may be comfortable installing a line amplifier themselves, particularly for simple setups, complex systems might benefit from professional installation to ensure optimal signal quality and avoid technical issues.
