Multiswitch Corab 9/32 CORAB model 17701 — multiswitch for satellite distribution 9 inputs, 32 outputs

Corab Multiswitch smart line 9/32 (model 17701) is a multiswitch for satellite distribution with nine inputs and thirty-two outputs, designed to distribute satellite and terrestrial signals to many receivers from a single antenna system. The device accepts multiple LNB feeds and provides separate outputs for independent tuners, making it suitable for multi-dwelling units and commercial installations where a central distribution point is required.

Advantages

The multiswitch supports a large number of independent outputs while maintaining signal separation between satellite polarizations and terrestrial input. Its compact design and fixed-input layout simplify integration into existing distribution cabinets or equipment racks. The device is built for continuous operation and reduces the need for multiple individual dish installations by enabling one antenna system to serve many receivers simultaneously.

Suitable for

• Apartment buildings and multi-dwelling units
• Hotels, guest houses and hostels
• Office buildings and commercial properties
• Apartment blocks or housing cooperatives with shared antenna systems
• Renovation projects requiring centralised satellite/terrestrial distribution

Key specifications

• Inputs: 9 inputs for multiple LNBs and terrestrial feed
• Outputs: 32 independent outputs for receivers or set-top boxes
• Signal types: Satellite signals with combined terrestrial input capability
• Distribution: Independent output lines to supply multiple tuners simultaneously
• Form factor: Rack- or cabinet-mountable compact multiswitch suitable for central distribution points

How to use

Install the multiswitch in a dry, ventilated equipment cabinet or on a suitable mounting surface near the antenna coaxial entries. Connect the satellite LNB coaxial cables and the terrestrial antenna feed to the designated inputs, and run individual coaxial cables from the outputs to each receiver or wall outlet. Ensure proper cable quality and connectors to minimise signal loss. Where power pass or active LNBs are used, follow the LNB and receiver manufacturer instructions to avoid power conflicts.

Usage recommendations

Use low-loss coaxial cable rated for satellite distribution (e.g., RG-6 or equivalent) and maintain proper connector terminations to preserve signal quality. If signal levels are marginal, consider adding line amplifiers or performing a site survey to balance signal strength across all outputs. For installations in larger buildings, document output destinations and label cables at both ends for easier maintenance.
