Multiswitch Terra MR-532 5-input 32-output satellite TV distribution

Terra MR-532 5-input 32-output multiswitch is designed to distribute satellite TV signals from multiple LNBs to a large number of receivers. The device accepts up to five separate satellite/LNB inputs and provides thirty-two independent RF outputs, enabling centralized signal routing for communal, residential or small commercial installations. The multiswitch supports standard satellite frequency bands and polarization switching used by common satellite receivers, simplifying multiroom satellite TV setup and reducing the need for multiple individual LNB connections.

Advantages

The multiswitch consolidates signals from several LNBs into a single distribution device, reducing cable runs and installation complexity. Built with a compact metal housing, it offers stable mechanical protection and passive signal handling that requires no external power for the RF paths. With thirty-two outputs, the MR-532 accommodates large apartments, multi-dwelling units or small office environments without additional active splitters. The design aims for reliable channel delivery and compatibility with typical satellite receivers and set‑top boxes.

Suitable for

• Multiroom satellite TV in apartments and houses
• Satellite signal distribution in apartment buildings and multi-dwelling units
• Small commercial installations such as bars, waiting areas or small offices
• Centralized satellite distribution for property managers or installers

Key specifications

• Inputs: 5 separate satellite/LNB inputs supporting standard polarizations
• Outputs: 32 independent RF outputs for receivers or set‑top boxes
• Form factor: compact wall- or rack-mountable metal housing
• Signal type: passive RF distribution for satellite TV signals
• Compatibility: works with common DVB-S/DVB-S2 receivers and set‑top boxes

How to use

Connect up to five LNB outputs from one or more satellite dishes to the multiswitch inputs, ensuring correct polarization and frequency band mapping for each input. Use coaxial cables of suitable quality and length to run from the MR-532 outputs to individual receivers or set‑top boxes in rooms. Receivers will control polarization and band switching via standard 13/18 V and 22 kHz tone signals passed through the multiswitch. Follow standard installation practices: tighten F-type connectors, avoid excessive cable bends, and terminate unused outputs if required.

Usage recommendations

For best performance, use low-loss coaxial cable (e.g., RG-6 or equivalent) and proper F-type connectors. Verify LNB and receiver compatibility during planning, and keep cable runs within recommended lengths to minimize signal attenuation. When serving many receivers, plan the layout to balance cable lengths and consider using amplifiers only if signal levels are insufficient.
