Kathrein EXD 1532 5-Input 32-Output Satellite Multiswitch (20510104)

For distributing satellite TV signals to up to 32 receivers in a multi-dwelling unit, the Kathrein EXD 1532 combines four satellite polarities from a Quattro LNB with terrestrial signals. It is a central component for communal satellite systems, providing each connected receiver with independent channel selection via DiSEqC 2.0.
