EBX 2520 Kathrein Connector F Grey Metal 5 MHz

The Kathrein EBX 2520 is a compact metal-housed F-type connector assembly designed for satellite and terrestrial signal distribution. It integrates five 2-way F-type splitters in a single grey metal enclosure and supports a passband of 5–862 MHz on one output and 4 x 950–2150 MHz on the remaining outputs, enabling combined Sat-IF and terrestrial distribution. The unit is cascadable with EXR 29.. multi-switch systems and is suitable for professional installation where durable, space-saving splitter hardware is required.

Advantages

The EBX 2520 offers a robust metal housing and compact dimensions (112 x 148 x 54.5 mm) that withstand installation conditions while occupying minimal space. With five integrated 2-way splitters in one chassis, it reduces the number of separate devices and connectors needed. Its frequency coverage supports both terrestrial (5–862 MHz) and satellite intermediate frequencies (4 x 950–2150 MHz), and the unit is lightweight at 350 g for easier handling during installation.

Suitable for

• Satellite IF distribution in multi-dwelling or commercial installations
• Combined satellite and terrestrial signal splitting for headend setups
• Cascading into Kathrein EXR 29.. multi-switch systems
• Professional installations where compact, metal-housed splitters are required

How to use

Mount the EBX 2520 in a suitable indoor enclosure or on a mounting surface, ensuring the metal housing has adequate grounding. Connect the incoming terrestrial feed to the 5–862 MHz input and satellite IF feeds to the respective 950–2150 MHz inputs as required. Use quality F-type connectors and cables, tighten connections to a firm but not excessive torque, and route cables to avoid sharp bends. When integrating with an EXR 29.. multi-switch system, follow the multi-switch manufacturer’s wiring scheme for cascades.

Usage recommendations

For reliable long-term performance, install the splitter in a dry, ventilated location, ensure proper grounding of the metal housing, and use coaxial cables and F-type connectors rated for the applied frequency range. Verify connector torque and signal levels after installation and when cascading with multi-switch systems follow Kathrein’s cascade guidelines.
