Priority Switch AB/SAT HAMA 00305124 for Antenna and Satellite Signal Selection

The HAMA Priority Switch AB/SAT (model 00305124) is a compact mechanical switch for selecting between two terrestrial antenna inputs and one satellite input to a single coaxial output. It is intended for home audio/video environments where a TV or satellite receiver needs to receive either an antenna (A/B) feed or a satellite (SAT) feed without changing cable connections. The switch offers a simple, passive solution that requires no power and minimal installation effort.

Advantages

The unit provides reliable manual switching between antenna and satellite signals, eliminating the need for repeated cable plugging. Its passive design means there is no power consumption or electronic processing of the signals, preserving original signal integrity. The compact form factor allows placement near the receiver or wall outlet and the mechanical switch offers intuitive operation and long-term durability with no configuration required.

Suitable for

• Homes with both terrestrial antenna and satellite feeds
• TVs or satellite receivers that accept a single coaxial input
• Temporary or permanent AV installations that require manual source selection
• Rental properties or setups where rewiring is not desirable

Key specifications

• Signal types supported: terrestrial antenna (VHF/UHF) and satellite (SAT)
• Connections: three coaxial F-type ports (two inputs, one output)
• Operation: manual mechanical switch, passive (no power required)
• Housing: compact, wall-mountable or shelf placement

How to use

Connect the two terrestrial antenna feeds to the A and B input ports and the satellite cable to the SAT input. Connect the coaxial output to the TV or receiver input. Use the mechanical selector to choose the desired signal source; the selected input is routed directly to the output. No configuration or power connection is necessary. For optimal signal quality, ensure all coaxial connectors are securely tightened and cables are in good condition.

Usage recommendations

For best results, mount the switch in a dry, ventilated location close to the TV or receiver to minimize cable length. Avoid excessive bending of coaxial cables and check connector integrity periodically. If signal loss is observed, verify cable condition and tighten connections before considering active amplification or professional signal distribution equipment.
