Applications
The PS-2500A was made by Catel specifically to power their line of video modulator equipment used in cable TV headend and broadcast distribution systems. Video modulators in cable plant headends convert baseband audio and video signals onto specific RF channels for distribution across a cable system. The PS-2500A provides the dual-voltage DC supply (+12.6V and -15V) that these modulators require. Equipment of this type was standard in cable television headend rooms from the 1970s through the 1990s. Today, PS-2500A units are primarily of interest to technicians maintaining legacy Catel modulator installations or sourcing working components for repair.
