BS131-12-16
Stand-alone SAT-IF multiswitch, 13 inputs to 12/16 subscriber outputs
Distribute twelve satellite planes plus terrestrial signals to up to 16 subscribers from a single compact unit — with integrated amplification and power supply for reliable, low-loss reception throughout the building.

Overview
The VIZOBOX BS131-12-16 is a stand-alone SAT-IF multiswitch that routes 12 satellite inputs (for Quattro LNBs) and one terrestrial input to 12 or 16 subscriber outputs. Built on the latest RF-chipset and stripline technology, it combines an integrated amplifier for low insertion loss with high isolation between polarisations. Subscriber control follows established standards — 14/18 V, 0/22 kHz and DiSEqC 1.0 — and the integrated power supply accepts 90-265 VAC mains input.
