Multiswitch de satélite Kathrein EXD 154 5 entradas 300-2350 MHz

The Kathrein EXD 154 is a compact satellite multiswitch with five inputs that supports satellite input frequencies from 300 to 2350 MHz and terrestrial signals from 5 to 862 MHz. Designed for indoor installation, it provides automatic detection of receiver operation and supports single-cable distribution for up to 16 receivers per output when the receiver and system standards allow. The unit includes an integrated, efficient power supply for LNB feeding and a built-in AGC to stabilise Sat IF output levels.

Advantages

The multiswitch automatically recognises and adapts to all common signaling types (14/18 V, 0/22 kHz, DiSEqC 1.0), and supports single-cable standards EN 50494 and EN 50607 (SCD2/JESS), including PIN code use in single-cable mode. Wideband-compatible inputs enable operation with wideband LNBs and multi-feed systems, and a wideband-to-quatro conversion mode allows the EXD 154 to emulate a Quatro LNB for feeding a standard multiswitch. Integrated AGC ensures constant output levels, and an efficient, short-circuit protected PSU supplies the LNB(s). Power-saving behaviour disables consumption when all receivers are off and can optionally switch off the LNB(s).

Suitable for

• Small to medium satellite TV installations in apartments or homes
• Setups using wideband LNBs or multi-feed satellite configurations
• Single-cable (unicable/JESS) distribution to multiple receivers
• Indoor mounting where compact size and low power consumption are required

How to use

Mount the multiswitch indoors and connect the satellite and terrestrial inputs according to the installation plan. Feed the LNB(s) power from the integrated PSU if required. Connect receivers or a distribution network to the outputs. The device will automatically detect receiver signalling and select the appropriate mode (legacy signalling, DiSEqC, or single-cable EN 50494 / EN 50607). If using wideband LNBs, enable the wideband to Quatro mode as needed to feed a downstream standard multiswitch.

Recommendations

For multi-feed or wideband installations, ensure connected receivers support the chosen single-cable standard (EN 50494 or EN 50607/JESS) or DiSEqC where required; verify cable quality and grounding to maintain signal integrity and to benefit from the EXD 154's AGC and power-saving functions.
