BS171-12-16
Stand-alone SAT-IF multiswitch, 17 inputs to 12/16 outputs
Distribute satellite and terrestrial signals to up to 16 subscribers from a single compact unit — with integrated power supply and amplifier for reliably low insertion loss.

Overview
The VIZOBOX BS171-12-16 is a stand-alone multiswitch that combines 16 SAT-IF inputs (for Quattro LNBs) and one terrestrial input onto 12 or 16 user outputs. Built on the latest RF-chipset and stripline technology, it delivers high isolation between polarisations, an integrated amplifier for low insertion loss and a compact housing with built-in wide-range power supply (90-265 VAC). Receiver control follows established standards: 14/18 V, 0/22 kHz and DiSEqC 1.0.
