Televes EuroSwitch 17-Input 24-Output Multiswitch

Product Overview

The Televes EuroSwitch is a compact and efficient multiswitch designed for large installations. It features 17 inputs, comprising one terrestrial input and 16 satellite inputs (each supporting four polarizations), and provides 24 user outputs. Its optimized electronic design ensures very low insertion and branching losses, reducing the need for amplifiers in cascade setups and providing a well-balanced signal, even in extensive collective installations.

The multiswitch can be used as an end-of-line unit (star topology) or as a cascade unit, selectable via a switch. It incorporates TForce technology, which automatically adjusts the terrestrial signal level to maintain an optimal output, compensating for variations in reception.

This product is RED compliant.

Key Features

• Very compact dimensions and weight, even for models with a high number of outputs.
• Very low insertion and branching losses.
• High shielding (Class A) with a zamak die-cast housing.
• Switch for selecting between cascade and end-of-line modes.
• Excellent isolation between inputs and outputs.
• Equipped with TForce technology for automatic, optimal terrestrial output level adjustment (TERR. AMP. ACTIVE).
• Dual power options: via power supply or cascade through satellite inputs or outputs.
• Low power consumption under standard conditions; ECO mode further reduces consumption as the number of connected users decreases.
• Wide supply voltage range (12-18V), ensuring compatibility with most existing systems.
• Power pass-through between all inputs and cascades.
• Color identification for inputs and outputs.
• 100% European design, quality, and production.

Installation Example: Large Building (4 Satellites)

In a large building installation with four satellites, the converters, terrestrial antenna, and the entire cascade are powered by several 3A power supplies. The number of power supplies required depends on the total power consumption of the system. If amplifiers are used, they should be connected to the recommended power supply points.

Cascade Installation Diagram Description

The diagram illustrates a cascade installation of Televes EuroSwitch multiswitches for a large building scenario, supporting four satellite inputs and one terrestrial input. The system consists of multiple multiswitch units (MSW 17x17x16) interconnected in a cascade. Each multiswitch unit receives signals from four satellite LNBs (labeled SAT 1, SAT 2, SAT 3, SAT 4) and a terrestrial signal (DTT).

The multiswitches are configured with TForce technology enabled (TERR. AMP. (T.Force) = ACTIVE) for automatic terrestrial signal level adjustment. The automatic power loading is set to CASCADE (AUTOLOAD = CASCADE), and terrestrial DC power is activated (TERR. DC = ON). The diagram shows the terrestrial input feeding into the first multiswitch, with the signal then passed through to subsequent multiswitches in the cascade. Satellite signals are similarly distributed.

Each multiswitch unit provides 8 user outputs, designated for TV or STB (Set-Top Box) connections. The diagram depicts several stages of multiswitches, with the final stage configured for TERMINAL mode (AUTOLOAD = TERMINAL). Power is supplied to the system using 3A Power Supplies (PSU), identified by [Ref. 732802], which are connected to the multiswitch units. The diagram also indicates the flow of DC power from the PSU throughout the system and shows integrated amplifiers (Ampl 9x) within the cascade.
