BMS51-6-8
Cascadable SAT-IF multiswitch, 4 SAT + 1 terrestrial to 6/8 outputs
Distribute satellite and terrestrial signals reliably to up to 6 or 8 subscribers from a single compact unit. The integrated power supply and latest RF-chipset technology ensure clean signals and simple installation.

Overview
The VIZOBOX BMS51-6-8 is a cascadable SAT-IF multiswitch with 4 SAT inputs plus one terrestrial input, feeding 6 or 8 user outputs and suitable for Quad and Quattro LNBs. Built on the latest RF-chipset technology, it combines an integrated amplifier for low insertion loss with high isolation between polarisations and integrated pre-emphasis to compensate cable loss. An integrated power supply and an optional LNB standby power-saving mode round out the design.
