Multiswitch Corab Smart Line 9/12 model 11091 — 9 inputs, 12 outputs for satellite TV distribution

Corab Multiswitch Smart Line 9/12 (model 11091) is a passive satellite TV multiswitch with nine inputs and twelve outputs designed to distribute satellite and terrestrial signals to multiple receivers. The device accepts multiple LNB lines and terrestrial antenna input, combining and routing signals so that up to twelve independent tuners or set-top boxes can access satellite channels and local terrestrial broadcasts simultaneously. The compact, wall-mountable housing and standard F-type connectors make it suitable for multi-dwelling units, small commercial installations and multi-room residential setups where a stable passive distribution solution is required.

Advantages

The multiswitch provides a straightforward, passive solution for distributing satellite and terrestrial signals without the need for powered amplification, which simplifies installation and reduces maintenance. Its nine input configuration supports connections from several LNB outputs and a terrestrial antenna, while twelve outputs allow many receivers to operate independently. The unit is built to industry connection standards, ensuring compatibility with common satellite LNBs and set-top boxes, and its passive nature avoids potential noise issues introduced by active electronics.

Suitable for

• Apartment buildings and multi-dwelling installations
• Small commercial premises such as offices, shops or waiting areas
• Multi-room home setups where several receivers or tuners are required
• Renovation projects that replace single-socket satellite distribution with a central passive solution

Key specifications

• Inputs: 9 (satellite LNB inputs plus terrestrial antenna input)
• Outputs: 12 independent outputs for receivers/tuners
• Connector type: F-type threaded connectors for satellite and terrestrial cables
• Operation: Passive multiswitch — no external power required
• Mounting: Wall or distribution cabinet mountable housing
• Signal types supported: Satellite IF signals and terrestrial RF

How to use

Connect the appropriate satellite LNB feeds and the terrestrial antenna feed to the designated inputs using F-type coaxial cables, then connect each receiver or tuner to one of the twelve output ports. Ensure connectors are tightened to provide reliable contact and minimise signal loss. Because the Multiswitch Smart Line 9/12 is passive, no power supply is needed; verify that connected equipment and LNBs provide any required power or switching signals. After connections are made, tune each receiver according to the satellite and terrestrial channel lists and check signal levels at each tuner to confirm correct distribution.

Usage recommendations

Use high-quality shielded coaxial cables and properly grounded installations to minimise interference. For longer cable runs or installations with marginal signal levels, consider adding a masthead amplifier or an active distribution stage before the multiswitch, while ensuring compatibility with passive switching. Regularly inspect F-type connections for corrosion and re-tighten if necessary to maintain reliable signal distribution.
