Multiswitch Corab Smart Line 5/4 (model 11090) for distributing satellite and terrestrial signals

Corab Smart Line 5/4 multiswitch (model 11090) is a passive distribution device designed to route satellite and terrestrial RF signals from multiple inputs to several receiver outputs. The unit accepts up to five inputs — typically four satellite LNB polarisation/band feeds and one terrestrial antenna feed — and provides four independent outputs for connection to set-top boxes or satellite receivers. It is intended for small installations where combined satellite and terrestrial signal distribution to multiple rooms or receivers is required.

Advantages

The Corab Smart Line 5/4 is passive, requiring no external power supply, which simplifies installation and reduces ongoing maintenance. Its compact passive design provides stable signal routing with minimal configuration. The multiswitch supports simultaneous distribution of satellite and terrestrial signals to multiple receivers while maintaining signal separation for each output. Durable construction and standard coaxial connectors make it compatible with common satellite and terrestrial installations.

Suitable for

• Small residential satellite TV systems with up to four receivers
• Multi-room distribution of combined satellite and terrestrial signals
• Single-dish satellite installations using quad or quad-LNB outputs
• Upgrading existing coaxial distribution to add terrestrial antenna feed

Key specifications

• Inputs: five RF inputs (satellite polarisation/band inputs plus terrestrial antenna input)
• Outputs: four independent RF outputs for receivers
• Type: passive multiswitch (no external power required)
• Connectors: standard F-type/coaxial connectors for satellite and terrestrial cables
• Application: combined satellite and terrestrial signal distribution for small installations

How to use

Install the multiswitch near the incoming satellite LNB and terrestrial antenna feed or at a central distribution point. Connect the satellite LNB outputs to the corresponding satellite inputs on the multiswitch and connect the terrestrial antenna cable to the designated terrestrial input. Run coaxial cables from each multiswitch output to the receiver or set-top box locations. No power connection is required; ensure connectors are tightened and cables are in good condition to maintain signal quality. If receivers require DiSEqC switching, configure them according to the receiver manual and the wiring arrangement of the LNB and multiswitch.

Usage recommendations

Use high-quality coaxial cables and properly installed F-type connectors to minimize signal loss. Keep cable runs as short as practical and avoid sharp bends. For installations with long cable runs or where signal strength is marginal, consider adding an inline amplifier or using a powered multiswitch designed for longer distributions. Verify receiver settings after installation to ensure correct band/polarisation switching.
