Fuba FMT 524 Multiswitch 5/24 – Satellite and Terrestrial Signals for Twenty-Four Subscribers
The Fuba FMT 524 is a 5/24 multiswitch for distributing the signals of one satellite (4 sat IF bands) and one terrestrial antenna signal to 24 subscribers. Thanks to the integrated 22kHz generator, both quattro LNBs and quattro switch LNBs can be connected to the FMT 524. Control is handled via 13/18V, 0/22kHz, tone and DiSEqC 1.0.
A high output level of up to 92dBµV in the satellite range ensures that subscriber outlets with longer cable runs are reliably supplied as well – supported by the particularly low connection attenuation of just 2dB (sat) and 6dB (terrestrial). The high isolation between the transmission bands (H/V > 25dB) and between the subscriber outlets guarantees consistently high signal quality at each of the twenty-four outputs. The terrestrial signal gain can be adjusted from 0...15dB using the built-in attenuator.
So that active terrestrial antennas can be connected without additional hardware, the multiswitch offers a switchable remote feed voltage of 0V, 5V or 12V at up to 150mA. The energy-saving power supply with standby function reduces power consumption to 3W when idle, and a status LED indicates the operating state. The FMT 524 is 8K, 4K, UHD, 3D and HD compatible.
