WISI DXS0516 FLEXSWITCH Multiswitch 5 Inputs 16 Outputs SAT/Terr

Distributing satellite and terrestrial signals to multiple receivers in a building often requires complex, bulky equipment. The WISI DXS0516 FLEXSWITCH Multiswitch solves this by combining four satellite polarities and one terrestrial input into a single compact unit, feeding up to 16 subscriber lines. Ideal for multi-dwelling units, hotels, and larger homes, it ensures every connected receiver gets a clean, reliable signal without interference.

Who is it for

This multiswitch is perfect for installers and system integrators working on residential or commercial projects where multiple satellite receivers need access to both satellite and terrestrial broadcasts. It suits buildings with up to 16 wall outlets, such as apartment blocks, small hotels, or office complexes. Its passive terrestrial path and DiSEqC compatibility make it versatile for both legacy and modern receivers.

Tips

For best performance, ensure the LNB is compatible with DiSEqC switching and that the terrestrial antenna signal is properly amplified if needed, as the terrestrial path is passive. Use high-quality coaxial cable (RG6 or better) to minimise signal loss over long runs. Mount the multiswitch in a well-ventilated area to prevent overheating.
