Multiswitch, 5 Inputs 24 Outputs, Linbox 524E

📡 LINBOX 5/24 Multiswitch | 1 Satellite + DVB-T | 24 SAT/TV Outputs

The LINBOX 5/24 multiswitch is a practical solution for building satellite and terrestrial TV installations. The device lets you distribute the signal from one satellite and a terrestrial antenna to up to 24 receivers.

The multiswitch works with Quattro-type converters and automatically detects the required band and signal polarity for each tuner.

It's a great fit for home and shared installations where the SAT and DVB-T signal needs to be distributed to several rooms.

⭐ Key benefits

• ✔ 5 inputs and 24 outputs
• ✔ Handles signal from 1 satellite
• ✔ Input for a DVB-T terrestrial antenna
• ✔ Supports up to 24 tuners
• ✔ Works with Quattro converters
• ✔ Passive terrestrial TV FM/DVB-T path
• ✔ Automatic band and polarity selection
• ✔ LED indicators showing device operating status
• ✔ External power supply included
• ✔ Designed for indoor installation

📺 SAT + terrestrial TV in one installation

The multiswitch has 5 signal inputs. Four of them are for connecting a Quattro-type satellite converter:

• 🛰️ Vert/Lo
• 🛰️ Horz/Lo
• 🛰️ Vert/Hi
• 🛰️ Horz/Hi

The fifth input, labelled ANT, is for connecting the terrestrial TV antenna signal.

Connect the Quattro converter's individual outputs to the correspondingly labelled inputs on the multiswitch.

🔌 Up to 24 receivers

The device has 24 outputs, so the signal can be distributed to up to 24 receivers.

For a receiver with a recording function that requires two independent antenna cables, use 2 multiswitch outputs. In this configuration, up to 12 such receivers can be connected.

💡 LED indicators

The multiswitch is fitted with handy LEDs that make it easy to check the installation is working.

• ✔ The LED at the power input shows the multiswitch is correctly powered.
• ✔ LEDs at the outputs indicate the connected receivers are working.
• ✔ The power supply also has an LED indicator showing it's operating.

Note: if the indicators on the power supply or multiswitch flash in a way that suggests a short circuit after installation, disconnect the power and check the installation before restarting.
