Pico Macom’s TSMS-2150X Series rack-mounted satellite multiswitches can be used
in every SMATV application requiring satellite 950-2150MHz IF distribution. The easy
mount enclosure and all rear panel connections provide for rack mounting or quick
and easy wall mounting by simply turning the unit face to the wall. The TSMS-5/16RK
is compatible with DIRECTV phase three dish reception systems by allowing 4 LNB
inputs and 1 antenna and providing 16 outputs. A constant 22 kHz tone is provided
on 2 of the input ports and 14 or 18 dc volts are provided to power the LNB and
conduct internal switching. The TSMS-2150X-16A allows 2 LNB inputs and provides
16 outputs, while the TSMS-2150X-8AUV allows 2 LNB inputs and 1 off-air antenna
input and provides 8 outputs. The advanced circuit design incorporates a pin diode
matrix to route any of the inputs to any of the outputs by utilizing the 13-14V Right-
Circular/Vertical or 17-18V Left-Circular/Horizontal switching control supplied by the
satellite receivers, thus eliminating digital artifacts that result from mechanical relay
switching. To compensate for insertion loss, all versions use separate built-in amplifiers
for satellite and/or VHF/UHF signals. The TSMS-2150X series will supply power to the
LNBs reducing heat build up within the multiswitch and prolong the life of the unit.
