MS-5/9xx SIGNAL PRO - multiswitches in multi-family buildings

MS-5/9xx SIGNAL PRO multiswitch series

The SIGNAL PRO series is a line of Class A multiswitches designed for professional SMATV systems. These devices are used in multi-family buildings, hotels, office buildings and wherever it is necessary to distribute satellite and terrestrial signals to many reception points. SIGNAL PRO multiswitches are made in a shielded, cast casing of shielding class A, which guarantees high resistance to electromagnetic interference (EMI) and stable operating parameters. The high quality of the signal paths translates into low levels of inter-channel crosstalk.
SIGNAL PRO is a viable alternative to the pass-through multiswitches available on European markets, offering excellent functionality and high quality workmanship at a very attractive price. Thanks to their robust cast housing, high technical parameters and 4-year warranty, SIGNAL PRO products ensure stable and reliable operation in RTV-SAT installations. Multiswitches of this series are a favourable choice for both installers and end users, combining professional solutions with optimal investment costs. SIGNAL PRO is an ideal combination of quality, functionality and price.

Solid die-cast housing provides effective Class A shielding, protection against interference and excellent heat dissipation. SIGNAL PRO series multiswitches are also equipped with LED indicators assigned to subscriber outputs, which significantly facilitates system commissioning and diagnostics. A 20 V power supply is included.

Multiswitch bus amplifier

The MS-900 SIGNAL PRO R69900 amplifier is a professional device designed for large SMATV systems in which the signals have to be amplified and balanced among many multiswitches, e.g. in multi-family buildings or extended SMATV systems. Its main task is to compensate signal losses in installations where satellite signals come from two satellite positions (quattro) and are cascaded to subsequent multiswitches of SIGNAL PRO series. The amplifier ensures stable signal quality over long distances and with multiple outputs.
MS-900 SIGNAL PRO multiswitch bus amplifier
MS-900 operates in the SAT band 950-2150 MHz and radio/DVB-T2 band 47-862 MHz, thus supporting both satellite and terrestrial broadcast signals. The amplifier offers an adjustable signal gain of 15 dB for each path, allowing the signal levels in a cascade of multiswitches to be precisely matched. The unit features low inherent loss and high isolation between signal paths, which minimises interference in reception.

Mounting SIGNAL PRO multiswitches in a telecommunications cabinet

Multiswitches of the SIGNAL PRO series are devices designed for distribution of satellite and terrestrial signals in SMATV SMATV systems. For their proper installation dedicated mounts are used, and one of them is UCH PRO 1 R69985. This bracket enables quick, stable and orderly mounting of two multiswitches in telecommunication cabinets, as well as on flat surfaces in dual-layer system. Thanks to its design, it provides adequate distance between the device and the substrate, improving air circulation and facilitating the routing of coaxial cables. Its rigid construction guarantees stability even with a large number of cables fed into the multiswitches, reducing the risk of stress on the connectors.
Advantages of mounting multiswitches SIGNAL PRO on a bracket:
  • improved air circulation - the bracket creates a separation space, which facilitates heat dissipation from the multiswitch housing
  • easier cable arrangement - the multiswitches are in an optimal position for inserting coaxial cables from the top, bottom or sides
  • ease of servicing - the bracket enables disassembling the devices without the need to disassemble the whole installation
  • stability - the bracket eliminates cable stress which could affect the multiswitches
The above picture shows installation of two MS-932 R69932 multiswitches using 3 UCH-PRO-1 brackets in TPR-8 R90553 metal housings (700x500x200 mm). The multiswitches are connected via F-bridges PZ-010 R82634, the unused loopthrough outputs are loaded with DC-locked termination resistors R66205. Additionally, in TPR-8 R90553 housing there have been placed MS-900 R69900 multiswitch amplifier and PA-321 R82513 channel amplifier for DVB-T2 TV.
The above picture shows layered installation of SIGNAL PRO multiswitches using UCH-PRO1 bracket. The multiswitches were mounted in a way ensuring mechanical stability, proper ventilation and service access to all connectors and control elements. The output signal from the multiswitch located closer to the mounting plate was fed to the second multiswitch using F-F connection bridge PZ-010 R82634, enabling cascade distribution of the signal. The connection was made according to the manufacturer's recommendations, maintaining shielding continuity and minimum signal loss.
