BKD55-12-16
Cascadable SAT-IF multiswitch, 5 inputs to 12 / 16 outputs
Distribute four satellite polarisations plus terrestrial signals to 12 or 16 subscribers with a compact, cascadable multiswitch that keeps insertion loss low and signal quality high.

Overview
The VIZOBOX BKD55-12-16 is a cascadable SAT-IF multiswitch with 4 satellite and 1 terrestrial input, feeding 12 or 16 user outputs. Built on the latest RF-chipset technology, it combines an integrated amplifier for low insertion loss with high isolation between polarisations and integrated pre-emphasis to compensate for cable loss. Variants with switchable passive/active terrestrial path and integrated power supply are available.
