Satelliet-multischakelaar Schwaiger SEW516 531 5 ingangen 16 uitgangen

The SCHWAIGER SEW516 531 is a satellite multiswitch designed to distribute digital signals from one satellite position to up to 16 subscribers. It accepts signals from a Quattro LNB or a Quad LNB and supports a frequency range of 950–2150 MHz. The device is passive in terms of power supply: it receives power only from the connected receivers and consumes 0 watts in sleep mode when no receiver is active. Compact dimensions (155 × 20 × 80 mm) allow simple installation and integration into existing satellite systems.

Advantages

The multiswitch provides independent programme access for all subscribers, allowing each receiver to select channels separately. It supports common LNB power voltages (14 V and 18 V) and works with both Quattro and Quad LNBs. Low standby power behavior ensures no unnecessary electricity consumption when no receivers are in use. The 5 input / 16 output configuration makes it suitable for medium-sized multiuser satellite installations.

Suitable for

• Apartment buildings with shared satellite distribution
• Small hotels, guesthouses or offices requiring up to 16 independent receivers
• Home installations where a single satellite position is distributed to multiple rooms

How to use

Connect the four outputs of a Quattro LNB (or the appropriate outputs of a Quad LNB) to the corresponding inputs of the multiswitch, plus the terrestrial/input if required. Mount the multiswitch in a dry, ventilated location close to the distribution point. Connect each receiver to one of the 16 outputs using coaxial cables. Receivers provide the necessary power to the LNB through the multiswitch when turned on. Check polarity and cable terminations to ensure reliable signal distribution.

Recommendations

Use high-quality coaxial cables and proper F-type connectors to minimise signal loss. Place the multiswitch away from strong heat sources and moisture. If multiple buildings or long cable runs are involved, consider signal amplifiers or professional planning to maintain signal levels across all 16 outlets.
