SWITCH EXPANSION S5x8A GC

SWITCH EXPANSION
S5x8AGC-T DBS HUB
S I T U AT I O N
Multiple DBS switches are required at a single location
to serve multiple apartments or racks of receivers.
SOLUTION
S5x8AGC auto-gain hubs amplify and distribute (5)
DBS signals to up to (8) switches at -30 dBm over an
input window of -50 dBm to -25 dBm.
RELATED CONSIDERATIONS
The Hub is powered by the switch connected to the “red
insert” splitter ports. The hub may be locally powered.
A built-in dual DC splitter is used to split DC power to
multiple switches or other devices. Connecting a DC
supply to DC1 provides (4) DC outputs. Connecting a
DC supply to DC2 provides (4) DC outputs.
DESCRIPTION
SONORA distribution hubs process DBS Ka/Ku and
(1) flex input for connection to (8) switches.

Too much signal overdrives the switches resulting in
picture breakup. Too little signal and the drop distance
is limited.

DBS switches (other than the SWM) do not have internal
automatic gain.
Model S5x8AGC hubs provide automatic gain
controlled signals to (8) switches at - 30 dBm.

Switch Expansion
Step 1: Power the LNBs with model 4SPI-20. Note
the 129º LNB output MUST go to port 4 of the hub
and port 4 of the DP44 switches.

Step 3: Connect the 24 volt power supply to the
DC1. Connect a jumper from a DC1 F port to port
(1) of the first DP44. Connect a jumper from a DC1
F port to port (1) of the second DP44. The first two
switches must receive power to keep signal flowing
to the third switch in cascade.
