BS171-8
Standalone SAT-IF multiswitch, 17 inputs to 8 outputs
Distribute four satellite positions and terrestrial signals to up to 8 subscribers with a single, self-powered multiswitch. The latest RF-chipset and stripline technology deliver low insertion loss and reliably clean reception.

Overview
The VIZOBOX BS171-8 is a standalone SAT-IF multiswitch that routes 16 Sat-IF inputs (for Quattro LNBs) plus one terrestrial input to 8 user outputs. An integrated amplifier compensates insertion loss, while high isolation between polarisations and 25 dB subscriber decoupling ensure interference-free distribution. Satellite selection is controlled via 14/18 V, 0/22 kHz and DiSEqC 1.0; the integrated power supply (90-265 VAC) enables standalone operation in a compact housing.
