This is my first post here but have bought products from Solid Signal for awhile.
Anyway I need help on which kind of equipment I need to install at 48 locations and using only 1 ka/ku directv dish the setup is for a condo building that doesn't want so many dishes at roof. The setup will be for 36 locations at one place such as attic and 12 locations at other place such as closet satellite needs to feed 36 locations first and from there cascade to next 12 locations. I had done cascading for catv equipment and commercial satellite equipment but with the new high definition area I'm kind of confused what equipment is needed, a diagram will be helpfull thanks in advance. |

There are two ways to do this, the first setup would be through the company Satellite USA Electronics who is made up of some of the same people from the late Spaun USA. This setup consists of running the original four satellite cables through a Wide Band Amp WBA425F and then tapping off with a WBT110 to (3) 16 Way Multiswitches (WBS41602NF)
I've uploaded a PDF of the Diagram here The only foreseeable disadvantage to this system is that the Satellite USA switches have had a couple bad batches of defectives switches. The alternative setup consists of Zinwell equipment and can be found here. This setup has the original four lines from the dish going into a WB616 16 Way Multiswitch, then run four lines from that switch into additional WB616 Way Multiswitch's. Using this method you can get up to 64 outputs. However, I have heard from installers that this method is unconventional, and can have inconsistent results, but Zinwell published the diagram. Now this may have been because the cable length was too long or not enough voltage was getting to the dish. -Mike |
