Satellite antenna Corab X80-C 80 cm steel reflector, offset design, wall/pole mount

Corab X80-C is an 80 cm satellite antenna with a steel reflector in an offset design for reliable reception of satellite TV signals. The dish is built from steel to provide structural strength and resistance to weathering, and it is intended for mounting on walls or poles. The antenna is suitable for receiving DVB‑S and DVB‑S2 broadcasts and offers a compact footprint that fits homes, small apartments and cottages where stable satellite signal capture is required.

Advantages

The offset reflector design reduces obstruction from the feed arm and improves signal focus toward the low-noise block converter, enabling better reception with a compact dish size. Steel construction increases mechanical durability and provides long-term stability under outdoor conditions. The mounting options for wall or pole installation allow flexible placement to achieve optimal line-of-sight to satellites. The antenna’s dimensions and construction make it suitable for installations where space and wind-load considerations favor a smaller, robust dish.

Suitable for

• Receiving DVB‑S and DVB‑S2 satellite television channels at residential locations
• Wall-mounted installations on houses, facades or balconies
• Pole-mounted setups for rooftops, masts or garden installations
• Cottages, small apartments and locations with limited mounting space

Key specifications

• Reflector diameter: 80 cm
• Reflector material: steel
• Dish type: offset reflector
• Mounting options: compatible with wall and pole mounting
• Intended reception: DVB‑S and DVB‑S2 satellite broadcasts

How to use

Mount the Corab X80-C satellite antenna on a suitable wall bracket or pole at a location with clear line-of-sight to the target satellite arc. Assemble the reflector and feed arm according to the manufacturer’s assembly instructions, ensuring all fasteners are tightened and the LNB is securely installed at the focal point. Use an appropriate coaxial cable to connect the LNB to your satellite receiver or set-top box. Perform coarse alignment using a compass and satellite elevation charts, then refine alignment while monitoring signal strength and quality on the receiver. After correct aiming, secure all mounts and weatherproof cable connections to prevent moisture ingress.

Usage recommendations

Choose a mounting location free from obstructions such as trees, nearby buildings or roof elements. For improved reception stability, use high-quality coaxial cable and connectors, and periodically check mount tightness and corrosion on steel components. In areas with strong winds, ensure the pole or bracket is adequately reinforced and consider professional installation if access or alignment is difficult.
