BMS91-12-16
Cascadable stand-alone SAT-IF multiswitch, 9 inputs to 12/16 outputs
Distribute eight satellite planes and one terrestrial input to up to 12 or 16 subscribers from a single compact unit — with integrated amplification, high polarisation isolation and a built-in power supply for dependable reception in every home run.

Overview
The VIZOBOX BMS91-12-16 is a cascadable stand-alone SAT-IF multiswitch with 8 satellite inputs and one terrestrial input, feeding 12 or 16 user outputs and available with passive or active terrestrial path. Built on the latest RF-chipset and stripline technology, it combines an integrated amplifier for low insertion loss with 30 dB isolation between polarisations and 25 dB subscriber decoupling. Receivers control the switch via standard 14/18 V, 0/22 kHz and DiSEqC 1.0 signalling, while the integrated power supply provides up to 800 mA of LNB remote feed.
Highlights
