Televes Euroswitch MSE916C 9in16 multiswitch (model 719603)

Televes Euroswitch MSE916C 9in16 multiswitch is a compact signal distribution device designed to route satellite and terrestrial TV signals from up to nine inputs to 16 independent receivers. The unit supports one terrestrial input plus eight satellite inputs (two satellite positions with four polarities each) and offers low through and tap losses thanks to an optimized electronic design. It can be installed as a terminal (star topology) or configured in cascade, with options for remote powering. The multiswitch includes TForce technology to stabilise the terrestrial output level automatically and is compliant with RED requirements.

Advantages

The compact form factor reduces required installation space and weight while maintaining good electrical performance for a high number of outputs. Very low through and tap losses minimise the need for additional amplification in cascaded installations and help preserve signal balance across receivers. High isolation between inputs and outputs prevents interference between satellite polarities and terrestrial signals. Integrated TForce automatic terrestrial level adjustment maintains a constant terrestrial signal despite variations in reception conditions. Multiple gain and powering options increase flexibility during installation and system design.

Suitable for

• Apartment buildings and multi-dwelling units requiring centralized satellite/terrestrial distribution
• Small commercial buildings, hotels and guesthouses with multiple receivers
• Cascade multiswitch systems for larger collective installations
• Star-topology installations where a terminal multiswitch is needed

Key specifications

• Inputs: 9 (1 terrestrial, 8 satellite inputs covering two LNBs with four polarities each)
• Outputs: 16 user outputs
• Topology: Star (terminal) or cascade-capable with user-selectable switching
• TForce technology: Automatic terrestrial output level adjustment
• Gain control: LG / HG 10 dB attenuation switch for satellite inputs per 8-user group
• Powering: Two options — from external power supply or via cascade through satellite connections
• Performance: Very low through and tap losses; high isolation between inputs and outputs
• Design: Compact European design and manufacturing

How to use

Install the Televes MSE916C in a signal distribution cabinet or enclosure with appropriate grounding and shielding. Connect the terrestrial antenna to the terrestrial input and the satellite LNBs to the eight satellite inputs according to polarity. Use the topology switch to select terminal (star) or cascade operation depending on your system design. Set the 10 dB LG/HG attenuation switch for each 8-user group to match incoming LNB signal levels and reduce saturation if necessary. Choose the powering method: connect the recommended external power supply or enable powering through the cascade inputs/outputs following installer guidelines. Verify output levels and signal quality at receivers and adjust cascaded amplifiers only if required.

Usage recommendations

Place the multiswitch in a ventilated, dry environment and keep cable runs as short as practical. Use high-quality coaxial cable and F-connectors, ensure correct grounding and lightning protection, and measure signal levels after installation. When using cascade topology, plan amplifier locations to maintain balanced signal across all outputs. Use the LG/HG attenuation switch and the TForce terrestrial adjustment to avoid overdrive of downstream receivers.
