This is a special Bias Tee BOX designed to feed an active antenna, amplifier, switch or other device in the RX path via coax. In addition to the classic Bias Tee, it contains additional circuitry such as a 50kHz HPF to eliminate AC noise, an adjustable attenuator (the ability to reduce the signal strength from the amplifier), current and voltage protection on the RF signal, and most importantly, the ability to switch off during TX.
In many cases you will need to power an active antenna or RX amplifier located close to the TX antenna. A strong signal from the transmitter can damage this amplifier or the receiver behind it.
For this reason, the Bias Tee BOX PLUS includes the ability to connect a PTT signal, which will both cut off the DC power to the coaxial cable and short it to ground, thus protecting the receiving equipment.
This box can also be operated without output voltage on the coax - just as short circuit protection when transmitting and disconnecting the cable from the receiver.
The PTT input signal is optically isolated, and the box also includes a PTT OUT, which can be used to avoid losing a PTT signal from a TRX, for example.
