Potter ERCES 3996171 RF Tapper, 137-960 MHz, 8 dBm

Deliver consistent, reliable RF coverage where it matters most. The Potter ERCES RF Tapper (TQ-TAP series, model 3996171) is a Bi-Directional Amplifiers & Accessories component designed to balance RF power across distributed antenna systems used in security, surveillance and monitoring applications. Covering 137–960 MHz, this tapper supports all Public Safety bands and ensures antennas farther from the booster receive comparable signal levels to nearby antennas.

With a precise 8 dBm coupling and low insertion loss/VSWR, the 3996171 preserves signal quality for two-way radios, critical monitoring equipment and IP-based security links. It also handles up to 200W average power, giving integrators the headroom needed for larger DAS deployments. Built to withstand tough conditions, the IP65 enclosure reduces maintenance and keeps mission-critical communications operating in harsh outdoor environments.

Ideal for public safety buildings, transportation hubs, and large commercial properties, the Potter ERCES RF Tapper simplifies RF distribution and enhances the reliability of your surveillance and monitoring systems.
