Sat-IF distribution system
Features

Multi-switch distribution network 
amplifi er for the Sat-range and 
terrestrial range in a Kathrein Sat-IF 
distribution system 4 x Sat-IF

Five amplifi ers (4 x Sat-IF and 1 x 
terrestrial range) in one housing

High dynamic range of amplifi er units

High decoupling between the 
amplifi er units

The terrestrial amplifi er unit is 
suitable for broadband cable systems

Settable attenuators (1 dB steps) 
in each amplifi er unit to adjust the 
different input levels

Integrated pre-equaliser in the 
terrestrial amplifi er unit

Adjustable pre-equalisation (2/4/6 
dB) in each Sat amplifi er unit

Low power consumption due to 
highly effi cient, short-circuit proof 
switched-mode power supply unit

LNB remote feeding via input 
horizontal low. All other inputs are 
voltage-free (enabling operation with 
UAS 485)

For indoor installation

The VWS 2500 is used for optimum 
signal provisioning on the input of larger 
multi-switch cascades or as cascadable 
distribution network amplifi er to equalise 
cable or tap/splitter through loss in larger 
distribution networks.
