CASCADE MULTISWITCH
MC-CMS908
Professional 9-Input Cascade Multiswitch for Satellite and Terrestrial Distribution
The MC-CMS908 is a professional cascade multiswitch designed for distributing satellite and terrestrial signals across MATV and SMATV networks. It provides 9 inputs, 9 trunk outputs and 8 subscriber outputs in a compact installation format.
Engineered for 2 satellite positions, the unit supports satellite distribution from 950-2200 MHz and terrestrial operation in active or passive mode, allowing flexible system design for residential, hospitality and commercial buildings.
The cascade architecture, strong isolation performance, DiSEqC switching support and external PSU powering options provide a dependable solution for structured RF distribution networks where scalability and signal stability are required.
Key Features
- Cascade Distribution Architecture Provides 9 inputs and 9 trunk outputs for structured satellite and terrestrial signal distribution.
- 2-Satellite Position Support Designed for 2 satellite positions with terrestrial signal integration.
- Strong Signal Isolation Designed with high trunk, tap and cross-polarisation isolation for stable RF operation.
- 8 Subscriber Outputs Supports 8 subscriber output connections for multi-room and multi-dwelling installations.
- Active / Passive Terrestrial Path Terrestrial path can operate in active or passive mode to match project signal conditions.
- Flexible Powering Options Powered by an external PSU either directly or through SAT trunk lines, supporting professional cascade layouts.
