Pico Macom’s TSMS-2150X Series rack-mounted satellite multiswitches can be used
in every SMATV application requiring satellite 950-2150MHz IF distribution. The easy
mount enclosure and all r
ear panel connections pr
ovide for rack mounting or quick
and easy wall mounting by simply tur
ning the unit face to the wall. The
TSMS-5/16RK
is compatible with DIRECTV phase thr
ee dish r
eception systems by allowing 4 LNB
inputs and 1 antenna and providing 16 outputs. A constant 22 kHz tone is provided
on 2 of the input ports and 14 or 18 dc volts are provided to power the LNB and
conduct inter
nal switching. The
TSMS-2150X-16A allows 2 LNB inputs and pr
ovides
16 outputs, while the TSMS-2150X-8AUV allows 2 LNB inputs and 1 of
f-air antenna
input and provides 8 outputs. The advanced circuit design incorporates a pin diode
matrix to route any of the inputs to any of the outputs by utilizing the 13-14V Right-
Cir
cular/Vertical or 17-18V Left-Cir
cular/Horizontal switching contr
ol supplied by the
satellite r
eceivers, thus eliminating digital artifacts that r
esult from mechanical relay
switching. To compensate for insertion loss, all versions use separate built-in amplifiers
for satellite and/or VHF/UHF signals. The TSMS-2150X series will supply power to the
LNBs r
educing heat build up within the multiswitch and pr
olong the life of the unit.
Rack-Mounted 14V/18V Satellite Multiswitch
TSMS-5/16RK
Wide frequency range:
40-2150MHz
Compatible with All DIRECTV
satellite dish reception systems
including those with incorporated
switching
Simple interface design provides 2
or 4 satellite polarity inputs and 8
or 16 outputs, for quick installation
All rear panel connection access
allows rack or wall mount flexibility
PIN diode matrix reduces polarity
transfer time and digital artifacts
providing consistent picture quality
Polarity is selected by receiver
supplied voltage (14V/18VDC)
compatible with most DTH
satellite services
Antenna signal combines with
satellite on output eliminating
external combining, reducing
cost and clutter
Built in DC power insertion
reduces cost by providing for LNB
power from the multiswitch
Built-in amplifier compensates for
insertion losses reducing need of
external amplification
External UL Approved power
supply reduces heat buildup thus
increasing unit life
