Satellite multiswitch WISI DXS 0508 — 5 inputs, 8 outputs, 950–2150 MHz, LNB power 13/18V

The WISI DXS 0508 standalone multiswitch distributes four satellite IF polarizations and one terrestrial input to up to eight subscriber outputs. It supports connection of DVB‑S/S2 set‑top boxes and TVs with integrated satellite receivers. Terrestrial signals (DVB‑T/T2, DAB+ or FM) can be inserted via the terrestrial input and distributed to all connected devices. The unit supplies power to itself and to preconnected multiswitches or LNBs via the integrated switch‑mode power supply.

Advantages

The DXS 0508 supports QUATTRO and QUAD LNBs and offers an active terrestrial path so DVB‑T/T2, DAB+ and FM can be shared without a separate amplifier. An integrated SAT amplifier reduces insertion loss and the device provides high screening efficiency (Class A). Compact dimensions and colour‑coded inputs simplify installation and the product is compatible with cascadable DXC 05xx models.

Suitable for

• Small residential or multi‑room satellite TV installations
• Systems combining satellite and terrestrial reception (DVB‑T/T2, DAB+, FM)
• Setups that require powering of LNBs or cascaded multiswitches from a single supply
• Installations using standard DVB‑S/S2 receivers or TVs with satellite tuners

When it may not be suitable

This multiswitch is designed for up to 8 subscriber outputs; larger installations will require a higher‑port or cascaded solution. It relies on an integrated switch‑mode power supply and does not replace specialised distribution amplifiers in cases where very long cable runs or unusually high signal gain are needed.

Key specifications

• Inputs: 4 satellite IF polarization inputs + 1 terrestrial input
• Outputs: 8 subscriber outputs
• Frequency range (satellite): 950–2150 MHz
• LNB power: 13 V and 18 V supply options
• AC supply: 90–264 V AC, 50/60 Hz
• Terrestrial signals supported: DVB‑T/T2, DAB+, FM
• Screening: Class A
• Form factor: compact wall/indoor unit with colour‑coded F‑connectors

How to use

Connect a QUATTRO or QUAD LNB to the four satellite IF inputs and plug terrestrial antenna feed into the terrestrial input. Connect up to eight receivers or satellite‑capable TVs to the outputs using coaxial cables. Ensure the unit is connected to mains power so it can provide LNB and cascade power. Adjust receiver settings to scan satellite and terrestrial channels as required.

What to consider before purchase

• Number of receivers required (maximum 8 outputs)
• Compatibility with installed LNB type (QUATTRO or QUAD)
• Need to distribute terrestrial DVB‑T/T2, DAB+ or FM signals without an extra amplifier
• Cabling length and signal loss in your installation

Usage recommendations

For reliable distribution, use high‑quality coaxial cables and keep cable runs as short as practical. When cascading with DXC 05xx models or powering multiple LNBs, verify combined current draw against the multiswitch supply limits and follow manufacturer wiring diagrams.
