Multiswitch WISI FLEXSWITCH DXS0512 5-in-12 active with power supply (76871)

The WISI FLEXSWITCH DXS0512 5-in-12 active multiswitch is a compact satellite distribution device designed to accept five satellite/LNB inputs and deliver up to twelve independent outputs. It integrates a power supply to feed LNBs or other active front-end components, making it suitable for installations where both signal routing and power feeding are required from a single unit. The unit is intended for residential or small commercial multi-receiver setups and supports simultaneous viewing and recording on multiple receivers connected to the outputs.

Advantages

The multiswitch combines signal distribution and an internal power supply in a single housing, reducing the need for separate power injectors. Its five-input design allows for multiple polarizations or satellite positions to be routed to twelve receivers. The device is built for continuous operation with stable power delivery to connected LNBs and predictable signal routing behavior for reliable multi-user reception.

Suitable for

• Residential multi-room satellite TV installations
• Small commercial sites such as guesthouses or small offices requiring multiple receivers
• Setups where feeding LNBs or active components from a central unit is preferred
• Installations with multiple polarizations or satellite positions to distribute to many receivers

When it may not be suitable

This active multiswitch is not intended as a replacement for large-scale professional headend equipment in very large installations; capacity and features are optimized for small to medium deployments. It may also be unnecessary in systems that use only a single receiver or where passive splitting without power injection is adequate.

Key specifications

• Input channels: 5 satellite/LNB inputs including multiple polarizations or satellite positions
• Outputs: 12 independent outputs for receiver connections
• Integrated power supply to feed LNBs or active front-end components
• Mounting: compact enclosure suitable for wall or rack-side installation in equipment cabinets
• Operating environment: designed for continuous indoor operation in residential or light-commercial settings

How to use

Connect each satellite/LNB cable to the corresponding input connector according to the satellite positions or polarizations used. Run coaxial cables from the multiswitch outputs to each receiver. Ensure the integrated power supply is connected to mains power and check that the receivers are configured to request power where required. After power-up, verify signal levels and channel reception on each connected receiver and adjust cabling or termination as needed to ensure optimal reception.

What to consider before purchase

• Number of receivers to be served and whether twelve outputs meet current and future needs
• Compatibility with the installed LNB types and required satellite positions or polarizations
• Physical installation space and access to a mains power outlet for the integrated power supply
• Whether the integrated power supply voltage and current meet the LNB or active component requirements

Usage recommendations

For stable multi-receiver performance, use high-quality coaxial cables and properly weatherproofed outdoor connectors. Verify that the multiswitch’s power output matches the LNB specifications and avoid overloading the power supply by connecting devices that exceed its rated current.
