Pico Macom’s TSMS-2150X Series rack-mounted satellite multiswitches can be
used in every SMATV application requiring satellite 950-2150MHz IF distribu-
tion. The easy mount enclosure and all rear panel connections provide for rack
mounting or quick and easy wall mounting by simply turning the unit face to the wall. The
TSMS-5/8RK is compatible with DIRECTV phase three dish reception systems by
allowing 4 LNB inputs and 1 antenna and providing 8 outputs. A constant 22 kHz tone
is provided on 2 of the input ports and 14 or 18 dc volts are provided to power the
LNB and conduct internal switching. The
TSMS-2150X-16A allows 2 LNB inputs and
provides 8 outputs, while the
TSMS-2150X-8AUV allows 2 LNB inputs and 1 off-air
antenna input and provides 8 outputs. The advanced circuit design incorporates a pin
diode matrix to route any of the inputs to any of the outputs by utilizing the 13-14V
Right-Circular/Vertical or 17-18V Left-Circular/Horizontal switching control supplied by
the satellite receivers, thus eliminating digital artifacts that result from mechanical relay
switching. To compensate for insertion loss, all versions use separate built-in amplifiers
for satellite and/or VHF/UHF signals. The TSMS-2150X series will supply power to the
LNBs reducing heat build up within the multiswitch and prolong the life of the unit.
