How to use

Mount the Kathrein ESD 85 outlet box at the designated termination point of the coaxial cable run. Connect incoming feed to the input and attach receiver or distribution cabling to the two output ports. Ensure correct polarization and shielding of coaxial connectors. If powering a satellite LNB through the outlet, confirm that the connected receiver provides the required DC voltage and that the DC pass option is enabled in the system configuration.

Usage recommendations

Use high-quality coaxial cables and properly tightened F-type connectors to minimize insertion loss. Verify frequency plan and grounding compliance during installation. For multi-device setups, check receiver compatibility before enabling DC pass to avoid voltage conflicts.
