Multiswitch WENTRONIC 64876 — 5 satellite inputs, 16 subscriber outputs

WENTRONIC 64876 is a 5-input, 16-output satellite multiswitch engineered to distribute satellite TV signals from up to five LNB sources to multiple receivers. The unit supports independent channel selection on each connected receiver and centralises cabling for multi-room homes or multi-dwelling installations. Its layout and signal branching are intended for shared satellite systems where several users or rooms require separate tuner access.

Advantages

The multiswitch enables distribution of signals from five satellite inputs to sixteen independent subscriber outputs without the need for separate LNBs per receiver. Its compact design simplifies mounting in distribution boxes or equipment racks, while passive signal routing reduces configuration complexity. The device provides a straightforward way to expand satellite signal coverage and manage multiple receivers from a single antenna feed system.

Suitable for

• Multi-room home satellite distribution
• Apartment buildings and multi-dwelling units
• Small commercial installations requiring multiple independent receivers
• Renovations or upgrades of existing shared satellite systems

Key specifications

• Number of satellite inputs: 5 (supports multiple LNB/polarisation/band sources)
• Number of subscriber outputs: 16 independent outputs
• Signal distribution type: passive multiswitch topology for independent receiver tuning
• Form factor: compact chassis suitable for wall or rack mounting
• Connector type: F-type coaxial connectors for inputs and outputs

How to use

Install the multiswitch near the satellite antenna cabling or inside a central distribution cabinet. Connect each LNB output or polarisation/band source to one of the five satellite inputs using F-type coaxial cables. Run coaxial cables from the sixteen subscriber outputs to each receiver or wall outlet. Ensure proper grounding of the satellite system and use suitable coaxial cable with correct impedance to maintain signal quality. After connections are made, configure each satellite receiver normally to scan and select channels independently.

Usage recommendations

Use high-quality, low-loss coaxial cable and compression F-connectors to minimise signal degradation. Keep cable runs as short as practical and avoid excessive bends. For installations with long cable runs or many splitters in line, consider signal amplification or a cascade of active components only if passive distribution does not meet signal level requirements.
