SK1712

Technical Overview

• Configuration

  • 16 satellite IF inputs (4 satellite positions × 4 polarity/band signals)

  • 1 terrestrial (VHF/UHF) input → distributes to 12 subscriber outputs 

• Supported Standards

  • Satellite frequency: 950–2200 MHz

  • Terrestrial: 5–862 MHz (active and passive distribution possible) 

• Switching & Control

  • DiSEqC 2.0 support for full position, polarization, band, and satellite selection

• Signal Performance

  • High isolation:

    • Polarity/planet: > 30 dB

    • Sat↔Terr: > 25 dB

    • Output-to-output: > 20 dB 

  • Max. output (satellite): ~90–100 dBµV

  • Tap losses:

    • Satellite: ~5 dB

    • Terrestrial (passive): ~1 dB; active ~0 dB 

• Return Path Support

  • Terrestrial return channel capable in passive mode (5–65 MHz range) 

⚡ Power & Installation

• Power supply included (15 V/2 A) to support both satellite and active terrestrial outputs; passive mode is also an option 

• Cascadable design suitable for larger systems or tiered multiswitch installations 

✅ Use Cases & Strengths

• Designed for medium-sized SMATV systems, enabling service to up to 12 endpoints.

• Fully DiSEqC 2.0–compliant, enabling flexible satellite configurations.

• Offers a good balance of signal strength (~90–100 dBµV) and inter-port isolation, minimizing interference.

• Ideal for homes, small hotels, apartments, or buildings needing satellite + terrestrial signal distribution with return-path capability.
