Multiswitch Corab SMART LINE 5/12 5-input 12-output for satellite distribution (model 10368)

Corab SMART LINE 5/12 multiswitch (model 10368) is a satellite signal distribution device with five inputs and twelve outputs designed to distribute signals from multiple LNBs and terrestrial sources to several receivers. The unit enables independent channel selection on each connected receiver and supports combined satellite and terrestrial setups. It is intended for household or small multi-dwelling installations where multiple users require access to satellite programmes from the same antenna system.

Advantages

The multiswitch provides simultaneous distribution of satellite and terrestrial signals to up to twelve receivers while maintaining signal isolation between outputs. Its five-input layout accommodates multi-LNB configurations or a mixture of satellite polarisation/band and terrestrial input. The device is built to fit standard installation practices and simplifies wiring for multi-receiver environments, reducing the need for separate splitters or additional active equipment.

Suitable for

• Homes with multiple satellite receivers or set-top boxes
• Small apartment buildings or multi-dwelling units with shared dish installations
• Installations combining satellite and terrestrial antennas in a single distribution network
• Replacement or upgrade of simple splitter-based distribution to allow independent channel selection

Key specifications

• Inputs: five satellite/terrestrial inputs supporting multi-LNB and terrestrial feed
• Outputs: twelve independent outputs for connection to receivers or set-top boxes
• Signal distribution: simultaneous supply of satellite and terrestrial signals with output isolation
• Application: suitable for household and small multi-dwelling installations

How to use

Connect the satellite dish LNBs and terrestrial antenna feed to the five inputs as specified in the system design, then connect receiver coaxial cables to the twelve outputs. Ensure quality coaxial cabling and correct F-type connectors for reliable signal transmission. Power the system as required by the overall installation (some setups may require external power or powered LNBs); follow standard safety practices when working on antenna and cabling systems.

Usage recommendations

Locate the multiswitch in a dry, ventilated enclosure near the distribution point to minimise cable lengths. Use good-quality coaxial cables and corrosion-resistant connectors, and verify cable continuity and signal levels after installation to ensure optimal reception on all connected receivers.
