General recommendations
System components Coaxial cables Newly designed SMATV systems should absolutely use reputable brand cables, at least with “Class A” designation. It is very important due to the fact that the spectrum of the distributed signals is very wide (47-2400 MHz). Cheap cables are not suitable for multiswitch systems because of high attenuation and poor shielding. The consequence would be be crosstalk between cables.
Existing buldings In the transitional period, the owner/manager of the building should adapt the existing shared antenna system so that the residents will be able to receive digital terrestrial broadcasts after analog switch-off.

All new apartment buildings should be equipped with shared antenna systems that provide the following benefits: ? all residents have access to television and radio signals with optimal parameters, ? the buildings are protected from the destructive effects of many individual installations, ? the receiving devices of the residents are protected from harmful effects of lightning strikes.
The cost of connectors is very low compared to other components of SMATV systems, but they significantly influence labor consumption during installation and startup procedures, as well as long-term relability of the distribution networks. PCT and Platinum compression connectors ensure the highest standards of performance.
Due to the high popularity of digital satellite TV platforms, an effective method of modernization of shared antenna systems is application of SMATV distribution networks based on multiswitches.

Multiband amplifiers ma420 R82520 is a modern amplifier of FM, VHF, and UHF signals, with individual settings for each band. Its high gain (30 dB) and maximum output level of 118 dBµV allow for building very large systems.

Mt420 R82515 modulator is a top class device designed for insertion of additional RF Code: channels that carry signals R82515 from CCTV cameras , DV D / m e d i a p l a ye r s , satellite/DVB-T receivers, etc. The device has two independent signal paths, so it is possible to introduce signals from two video/audio sources on RF channels within the same or in different TV bands.
SMATV systems in apartment buildings
A multiswitch system with bus architecture has the main path from which the signals are provided to individual multiswitches through taps. This arrangement reduces the risk of a cascading failure of the system.
A set of channel amplifiers combined with multiswitch system based on bus topology is the most modern and flexible solution for distributing high-quality television signals.
Large multiswitch systems with bus architecture can distribute signals to over 1000 outlets, and most importantly, at any time they may be easily upgraded, e.g. in order to connect twin-tuner PVR receivers.
Terrestrial signals (DVB-T & analog), amplified by channel amplifiers, are combined with satellite signals and distributed via the multiswitch system.

provide an excellent alternative to those of Terra. Their increased selectivity is sufficient even for networks with active adjacent channels. They offer very high gain (adjustable within 33-53 dB range) and extremely high maximum output level (120 dBµV, two outputs).
Multiswitches Multiswitches of MSV series employ bus architecture that has been implemented in 5Code: R707..., R708... input (for one satellite position and terrestrial TV) and 9-input (for two satellite positions and terrestrial TV) versions. There are units with different number of outputs, from 4 to 32. They have active paths (MSV series) or passive paths (MS series). The power supply is fed through signal lines. Independent IF gain control in low and high bands allows for signal level equalization, which minimizes the influence of crosstalk on signal quality. The systems based on the multiswitches can distribute signals to 1000 or so outlets. In many cases, the systems based on bust topology can also use radial multiswitches from MSR series that are equipped with builtin power supplies.
Amplifiers for Terra for multiswitches Code: The amplifier s are R70511, R70911 d e s i g n e d f o r amplification of the first sat IF and terrestrial TV bands. There are 5-input (R70511) and 9-input (R70911) versions. The terrestrial paths are made in push-pull configuration. The amplifiers also provide supplying voltage to LNBs. The maximum gain of satellite/terrestrial paths is 22 dB / 17 dB, the maximum output levels 106 dBµV / 114dB µV correspondingly. Both versions ensure cable loss compensation. The power supply is fed through signal lines.
Terra SAT/TV splitters The splitters split the bus to form subnetworks, which is typical solution for large systems. Code: R70515, R70520, R70523, R70529
