Main Product Introduction
The MPS-464 Series represents a high-performance cavity power splitter designed for multi-band Distributed Antenna Systems (DAS) and professional RF signal distribution. Its unique cavity architecture ensures high power handling of 20W and a low VSWR of ≤1.5 across the entire 400MHz to 6.425GHz spectrum. This wideband capability makes it a “future-proof” component, capable of managing legacy UHF radio, 4G LTE, 5G sub-6GHz, and the latest Wi-Fi 6E frequencies. With a robust mechanical design and standard N-Female connectors, these splitters offer high reliability and minimal insertion loss, ensuring uniform signal coverage in complex in-building environments.

FAQ
- What are the typical application scenarios for this wideband cavity splitter?
- This splitter is ideal for neutral-host DAS (Distributed Antenna Systems), where signals from multiple providers (UHF, LTE, 5G, and Wi-Fi) must be combined and distributed through a single antenna network. It is also used in laboratory testing and base station infrastructure to divide power between multiple transmit or receive paths.
- How does the “Cavity” design compare to Wilkinson-style splitters?
- Cavity power splitters are preferred for high-power and wideband applications because they generally offer lower insertion loss and better heat dissipation than microstrip-based Wilkinson splitters. The air-dielectric structure of a cavity allows it to handle 20W+ power more efficiently without the risk of burning out internal resistors.
- Why does the insertion loss increase with the number of “Ways”?
- Insertion loss in a splitter includes the “theoretical split loss” (which is 3dB for 2-way, 4.7dB for 3-way, and 6dB for 4-way) plus the real-world dissipation loss. For example, the 4-way model (MPS-464-4-NF) has a total loss of ≤6.9dB, meaning it only adds 0.9dB of actual hardware loss beyond the natural physics of dividing the signal four ways.
- Is this splitter compatible with Wi-Fi 6E and 5G NR?
- Yes, the 6425MHz upper limit specifically covers the 6GHz band used in Wi-Fi 6E and the higher n77/n78/n79 5G bands. This makes it a versatile tool for consolidating multiple wireless technologies into one distribution system.
- What is the importance of the 50Ω impedance and ≤1.5 VSWR?
- A 50Ω impedance is the standard for professional RF equipment. Combined with a VSWR of ≤1.5, it ensures that signal reflections are minimized, protecting your amplifiers from reflected power and maintaining maximum efficiency in the antenna network.
