Multiswitch Corab SMART LINE 5/16 CORAB (model 11079) for satellite distribution, 5 inputs, 16 outputs

The Corab SMART LINE 5/16 multiswitch is a satellite signal distribution device with five inputs and sixteen outputs designed for centralized distribution in residential and small commercial installations. It accepts multiple LNB signals and a terrestrial input, routes them to up to 16 receivers or tuners, and maintains isolation between outputs to prevent signal interference. The unit is intended for fixed installations where multiple users or devices require independent access to satellite and terrestrial programming.

Advantages

The multiswitch provides stable distribution of satellite and terrestrial signals to many receivers without the need for multiple LNBs per tuner. Its configuration reduces cabling complexity and centralises signal management. Built to industry installation standards, the device supports simultaneous independent tuning across connected receivers, offers consistent signal isolation between outputs, and simplifies future system expansion by accommodating additional tuners without altering the satellite feed arrangement.

Suitable for

• Apartment buildings and multi-dwelling units requiring centralized satellite distribution
• Small commercial premises, guesthouses or hotels needing multiple independent receivers
• Home installations with several TVs or set-top boxes that demand independent channel selection
• Installations combining satellite TV and a terrestrial antenna feed

Key specifications

• Inputs: 5 inputs (satellite polarities/bands and terrestrial)
• Outputs: 16 independent outputs for receivers or tuners
• Function: Multiswitch for distribution of satellite and terrestrial signals
• Signal isolation: Maintains output isolation to minimise interference between tuners
• Form factor: Rack- or wall-mountable unit suitable for central distribution points

How to use

Install the Corab SMART LINE multiswitch in a central location near the incoming satellite dish and terrestrial antenna. Connect the corresponding LNB outputs and terrestrial antenna lead to the multiswitch inputs, and run coaxial cables from the multiswitch outputs to each receiver or tuner. Verify correct polarity and band connections for LNB feeds and ensure all cable connections are secure. Power the system according to the installation practice for active LNBs or any external power inserters used in the setup. After connection, tune each receiver independently and check signal levels at each outlet to confirm reliable reception.

Usage recommendations

Use high-quality, properly shielded coaxial cabling and compression or screw-type connectors to reduce signal loss. Keep cable runs as short as practical and avoid sharp bends. If long cable runs are necessary, consider inline amplifiers or distribution amplifiers designed for satellite frequencies. Ensure the installation follows local regulations and grounding practices for antenna systems.
