Potter ERCES 3996173 RF Tapper, 137-960 MHz, 13 dBm

The Potter ERCES 3996173 RF Tapper is engineered to balance and distribute RF power across distributed antenna systems, delivering consistent coverage for security, surveillance and monitoring applications. As a TQ-TAP series Bi-Directional Amplifier accessory, this tapper evens out signal levels so antennas farther from the booster receive comparable power to closer units — reducing dead zones and improving system reliability. Covering a broad 137–960 MHz frequency range, supporting all public safety bands, and offering up to 200W average power handling, it meets the demands of high-performance DAS deployments. The 13 dBm coupling characteristic and low insertion loss preserve signal quality, while low VSWR minimizes reflections and interference. Built with an IP65-rated enclosure, the unit stands up to harsh environments for outdoor or indoor installations. Ideal for public safety networks, commercial buildings, and critical infrastructure monitoring, the Potter ERCES RF Tapper simplifies deployment and improves uptime.
