KATHREIN EXD 158 twin multiswitch voor satelliet- en terrestrische signalen

The KATHREIN EXD 158 Twin is a multiswitch that distributes satellite and terrestrial signals to up to 8 subscriber outputs. It combines four satellite IF inputs and one terrestrial input, enabling multiple receivers to access both signal types simultaneously. The integrated switching power supply ensures stable operation without an external power adapter.

Advantages

The EXD 158 Twin supports DiSEqC 2.0 commands, making it compatible with a wide range of satellite receivers. Its passive terrestrial path (5-862 MHz) and return path (5-65 MHz) allow for interactive services. With a maximum output level of 95 dBµV for satellite and 85 dBµV for terrestrial, it delivers strong signals to every connected device.

Suitable for

• Multi-dwelling units distributing satellite TV to multiple apartments
• Connecting up to 8 receivers to a single satellite dish
• Combining terrestrial and satellite signals on one cable
