TRIAX TMST 5x1 TAP Multiswitch with 4dB Tap Loss, 5 Satellite Inputs, Terrestrial Input, 4 Subscriber Outputs 318642

The TRIAX TMST 5x1 TAP stands out as a compact yet powerful multiswitch engineered for satellite and terrestrial signal distribution in multi-dwelling units. Unlike conventional cascading multiswitches that require complex wiring for each apartment, this TAP model integrates directly into the trunk line, providing four subscriber outputs with a low 4 dB tap loss. This design simplifies installation while maintaining excellent signal integrity across the entire 5–2400 MHz frequency range, making it an ideal choice for distributing signals from a Quattro LNB and terrestrial antenna to up to four receivers.

Highlights

• 5 trunk inputs: 4 satellite polarities (VL, HL, VH, HH) and 1 terrestrial input
• 4 subscriber outputs with 4 dB tap loss, ideal for apartment distribution
• Wide frequency range: 5–862 MHz terrestrial, 950–2400 MHz satellite
• DC pass-through on all satellite lines to power the LNB from any receiver
• High isolation (>30 dB SAT-SAT, >25 dB tap-tap) prevents interference
• Class A shielding and F-type connectors ensure reliable, low-loss connections

In daily use

Install the TMST 5x1 TAP in the riser or distribution cabinet, connecting the trunk cables from the LNB and terrestrial antenna to the five input ports. Each of the four F-type subscriber outputs delivers a balanced signal with only 4 dB attenuation, allowing receivers to operate with optimal sensitivity. Thanks to DC pass-through, the LNB can be powered from any connected set-top box, eliminating the need for a separate power supply. The compact metal housing fits easily into standard enclosures, and the clear labelling reduces installation errors.
