CORAB Multiswitch Smart Line 5/16 – 16-Output Satellite & Terrestrial Distribution Switch, DiSEqC 2.0, 950-2150 MHz

With 16 independent outputs and support for all satellite polarities and bands, the CORAB Multiswitch Smart Line 5/16 delivers TV signals to every room in large buildings without compromise. Its DiSEqC 2.0 switching ensures seamless channel selection across the full 950–2150 MHz satellite IF range.

Overview

The CORAB Multiswitch Smart Line 5/16 is a professional-grade multiswitch for distributing satellite and terrestrial TV signals in multi-dwelling units, hotels, or large residential installations. It features 4 satellite inputs (Horizontal/Vertical, Low/High band) and 1 terrestrial input, providing 16 independent outputs. The switch operates in the satellite IF range of 950–2150 MHz and terrestrial range of 47–862 MHz, ensuring compatibility with all standard satellite and terrestrial broadcasts. It supports DiSEqC 2.0 (backward compatible with 1.0/1.1) for automatic switching between satellite bands and polarities. The built-in LNB power supply provides 18V DC up to 500mA, and the unit is powered by an external 18V DC power supply (included). The metal housing ensures durability and effective shielding, making it suitable for rack or wall mounting.
