Multiswitch Opticum OMS 58 PRO 5-input 8-output — opticum

Opticum OMS 58 PRO is a 5-input, 8-output multiswitch engineered to distribute satellite and terrestrial signals to multiple receivers. The unit accepts up to five input sources and routes independent signal feeds to eight outputs, allowing simultaneous viewing or recording on separate tuners. Designed for small multiroom satellite installations, shared antenna systems and apartments that require multiple tuner connections, this multiswitch supports flexible signal distribution while maintaining stable reception for each connected device.

Advantages

The multiswitch provides independent switching for up to eight receivers from five combined inputs, reducing the need for additional splitters or amplifiers. Its compact design simplifies installation in equipment cabinets or on mounting plates, and the device is built to maintain signal integrity across each output. The opticum OMS 58 PRO supports mixed satellite and terrestrial inputs, enabling a single distribution point for various signal sources and minimizing cable complexity in multi-tuner setups.

Suitable for

• Small multiroom satellite systems in homes or apartments
• Shared antenna installations in multi-dwelling buildings
• Distributing signals to multiple DVB-S/DVB-S2 receivers or set-top boxes
• Combining satellite and terrestrial antenna inputs for centralized distribution

Key specifications

• Inputs: 5 (satellite polarisation/band and terrestrial combined)
• Outputs: 8 independent outputs for separate tuners
• Function: Multiswitch for distribution of satellite and terrestrial signals
• Mounting: Compact housing suitable for cabinet or wall mounting
• Use case: Designed for small multiroom and multi-tuner installations

How to use

Connect up to five input cables from LNB outputs and terrestrial antenna sources to the corresponding input connectors on the multiswitch. Run coaxial cables from each of the eight output ports to individual receivers or set-top boxes. Ensure each receiver is configured to the appropriate satellite or terrestrial input per its setup menu. Powering may be provided by the receivers through the coaxial link if supported, or via an external power supply where required by the installation. Verify signal levels at each receiver and adjust cabling or add line amplifiers if necessary to maintain stable reception.

Usage recommendations

Use high-quality, properly shielded coaxial cables and F-type connectors for all connections to reduce signal loss. Keep cable runs as short as practical and avoid tight bends. If multiple floors or long cable distances are involved, consider inline amplification or a masthead amplifier to compensate for attenuation. Check receiver settings after installation to confirm independent channel selection on each tuner.
