I believe FPA’s shouldn’t be used anymore, due to the filtering on them. You would need a wideband attenuator. The reasoning being FLD5W-65-860-FPA-6

The 65 is 65mhz, which is where the return path spectrum currently ends. Going forward this will be increased. The 860 is 860mhz is where the max this attenuator will go on the forward path spectrum.

Using FPAs just means that certain frequencies will be totally cut off when they are launched, meaning technician visits will be needed
