1 Home Signal Distribution Kit Installation Guide
The next diagram shows the same configuration as the previous illustration.
You can see that one output of the multiswitch is connected to the input of the
Combiner, and that there are no devices such a splitter or DishPro adapter in the
common cable run between the Combiner and Splitter. If a DishPro adapter is
needed, it must be installed after the Splitter as shown.

Materials Required
In order to install the SIRIUS antenna and the Combiner and Splitter, you will
need to purchase several lengths of RG-6 cables to complete your installation.
The length of the cables needed is dependent upon your particular configuration.
RG-6 cable is typically sold in lengths of 10, 25, or 50 ft., with “F” type connec-
tors on each end. These cables may be purchased at your local hardware store,
home center, or electronics retailer.
The cables which must be purchased are depicted in the following illustration as
solid black and are numbered, while existing cables are shown as gray.
