Televes EuroSwitch 5 Inputs - 8 Outputs
Compact and effective for large installations
Product Overview
The Televes EuroSwitch is a compact multiswitch designed for large installations. It features 5 inputs, comprising one terrestrial input and four satellite inputs (one for each polarity), and provides 8 user outputs. Its optimized electronic design ensures very low through and tap losses, reducing the need for amplifiers in cascades and promoting a more balanced signal distribution to users, even in extensive collective installations.
This multiswitch can function as a terminal unit in a star topology or as part of a cascade using a simple switch. It also incorporates a second switch that activates the TForce technology, which automatically adjusts the terrestrial signal level to maintain consistency despite reception variations. The product is RED compliant.

Key Highlights
- Very compact in dimensions and weight, suitable for installations with a high number of users.
- Very low through and tap losses.
- High shielding (Class A) due to its Zamak construction.
- Versatile selector switch for shifting between cascade and terminal modes.
- Excellent isolation between inputs and outputs.
- Equipped with TForce technology for automatic terrestrial output level adjustment (TERR. AMP. ACTIVE).
- Features a 10 dB Low Gain (LG) / High Gain (HG) switch for satellite input signal attenuation per 8-user group.
- Multiple powering options: from the power supply, from the cascade (via satellite inputs/outputs), or directly from the satellite receiver (RECEIVER POWER ACTIVE).
- Low power consumption; ECO mode further reduces consumption as connected users decrease.
- Wide 12-18V power supply range, ensuring compatibility with most existing systems.
- Facilitates current circulation between all inputs and cascades.
- Input and output colour identification for easy setup.
- 100% European design, quality, and manufacturing.
Application Examples
Installation into a family-house (1 satellite)
In a family-house setup with one satellite, the LNB and multiswitch are powered by the user's Set-Top Box (STB) by enabling the "RECEIVER POWER" switch. An external Power Supply Unit (PSU) is not required in this configuration. The diagram shows the STB providing DC power to the multiswitch and LNB, with terrestrial DC power off and terrestrial amplification set to passive.
Installation into a small multi-dwelling unit (1 satellite)
For a small multi-dwelling unit with one satellite, the LNB, terrestrial antenna, and the entire cascade of multiswitches are powered by a single 3A PSU (Ref. 732802). When the "RECEIVER POWER" is switched off, the STBs are DC isolated from the cascade and protected against overcurrent.
Two common configurations for multi-dwelling units are illustrated:
- Cascaded Configuration: A cascade of multiswitches (MSW 5x5x16) is powered by a 3A PSU. The system is set to 'TERR. DC = ON', 'RECEIVER POWER = OFF', 'TERR. AMP. (T.Force) = ACTIVE', and 'AUTOLOAD = CASCADE'. DC power flows from the PSU to the system.
- Terminal Configuration: A multiswitch (MSW 5x5x16) is used as a terminal unit, also powered by a 3A PSU. The settings are 'TERR. DC = OFF', 'RECEIVER POWER = OFF', 'TERR. AMP. (T.Force) = ACTIVE', and 'AUTOLOAD = TERMINAL'.
