Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)The product details don't make it clear that this is the product is actually the "BDA-K1/PS/RA" which means it includes a power supply. No coax cables are provided, and you will need at least one to connect the power supply, as well as another to connect the amp wherever you are inserting it in your system (typically as early as possible where the cable enters your premises).
The warning about not using an active return amp unless your upstream signal level is above 50dBmV is an ok rule of thumb; I would probably suggest that if you are above 45dBmV then it may be worthwhile. However, you should also be concerned about the downstream power level since equipments' tolerance for downstream power is typically much narrower (e.g., -12 to +12dBmV) and this amp gives a +15dBmV boost. You should not use this amp unless the downstream power level is less than -3dBmV.
Also, it may be a problem in your dwelling that different branches have different numbers of splits and, while the amp brings one branch into balance, another branch gets taken out of the optimum range. In that case, you can buy attenuators like In-Line Attenuator 3 dB to bring down the power levels on such a branch.
