KATHREIN EXD 1524 Multiswitch Satellite/Terrestrial Signal (EXD 1524)

Distributing satellite and terrestrial TV signals to multiple receivers in a single-family home or small MDU can be a challenge, especially when you need to support different polarizations and bands. The KATHREIN EXD 1524 multiswitch solves this by combining four satellite IF inputs and one terrestrial input into four subscriber outputs, allowing up to four tuners to independently access any channel.

Who is it for

This multiswitch is ideal for installers and homeowners setting up a satellite distribution system with up to four receivers, such as in a house with multiple rooms. It works with a quattro LNB and supports DiSEqC 2.0 commands for flexible switching.

Main features

• 4 satellite inputs (for 1 satellite, 4 polarizations) and 1 terrestrial input
• 4 subscriber outputs, each with full access to all inputs
• Satellite IF frequency range: 950-2150 MHz; terrestrial: 5-862 MHz
• Switching via 13/18V, 0/22kHz, and DiSEqC 2.0
• Passive terrestrial path with return path capability (5-65 MHz)
• Integrated power supply, max 5 W consumption (without LNBs)
• F-type connectors, shielding class A, operating temperature -20 to +50 °C

Specifications

• Number of satellite inputs: 4
• Number of terrestrial inputs: 1
• Number of subscriber outputs: 4
• Satellite IF gain: 0 dB (typical)
• Terrestrial gain: -20 dB (typical, passive)
• Isolation SAT-SAT: > 30 dB
• Isolation SAT-terrestrial: > 30 dB
• Power consumption: max. 5 W (without LNBs)

Tips

Pair the EXD 1524 with a quattro LNB for full band and polarization access. Use the terrestrial input for FM/DAB/TV and the return path for interactive services. Ensure proper grounding and use quality F-connectors for reliable signal.
