Low Noise Block downconverter Schwaiger SPS6710R

The Schwaiger SPS6710R Low Noise Block downconverter operates in the 10.7–12.75 GHz frequency range and is designed for receiving satellite signals for a single subscriber. This terracotta-coloured Single LNB features a 4 cm feedhorn diameter, gold-plated F-type RF connector and low current consumption of 130 mA. The LNB head cap is engineered to resist peak temperatures above 220 °C for short periods, reducing the risk of heat damage to the feedhorn in very sunny conditions.

Advantages

The SPS6710R offers reliable single-user reception with a compact, lightweight design (approx. 300 g) suitable for multifeed systems. The gold-plated F connector and an extendible weather-resistant cover provide improved corrosion resistance and protection against the elements. The high-temperature resistant header cap minimises the risk of damage from extreme surface heating, while the standard LNB specifications ensure compatibility with typical satellite installations.

Suitable for

• Individual satellite reception for one subscriber
• Multifeed installations requiring a compact Single LNB
• Outdoor installations where weather protection for the connector is needed

How to use

Install the Single LNB on the dish arm or multifeed bracket according to the dish and bracket manufacturer instructions, ensuring correct focal distance and alignment for the satellite. Connect the gold-plated F-type connector to the coaxial cable leading to the receiver; the extendible cover can be closed over the connector to enhance weather resistance. Provide power from a compatible satellite receiver or multiswitch that supplies the required voltage and polarity for LNB operation.

Recommendations

Position the LNB so the feedhorn is centred at the dish focus and periodically check the connector cover and seals for damage. In regions with intense sunlight, allow for short-term surface heating; the header cap withstands temperatures above 220 °C for up to 10 minutes but normal cooling and ventilation around the LNB improve long-term durability.
