TSMS Series Multiswitches
TSMS Series
Satellite IF Multiswitches
The TSMS series of professional-grade single and dual satellite multiswitch-
es are used in applications that require satellite IF distribution from 950 up
to 2300 MHz, including residential and MDU installations requiring high relia-
bility, low loss equipment. The advanced circuit design incorporates a pin
diode matrix to route any of the inputs to any of the outputs by utilizing the
control voltages supplied by the satellite receivers, thus eliminating digital
artifacts that result from mechanical relay switching. To compensate for
insertion loss, most versions use separate built-in satellite amplifiers and,
where off-air path is provided, a VHF/UHF terrestrial amplifier. The TSMS
series multiswitches, used with the external power supply, will supply power
to the LNBs, reducing heat buildup within the multiswitch and prolonging the
life of the unit. The 3 input versions provide for 2 satellite polarities and 1
antenna source, the 4 and 5 input versions provide for 4 satellite polarities
while the 5 input version additionally provides for 1 antenna source. The
TruSpec TSDM-2150 satellite diplexer can be used to combine and/or split
the satellite and antenna signals so that they can travel together down a sin-
gle cable. The TSMS2150-5/4, TSMS-4/8 and TSMS-5/8 multiswitches can
also be used in single satellite applications for upgrade to future HDTV
expansion. The TSMS-4/8 multiswitch is the optimum replacement for the
4x4 multiswitches on the back of the DIRECTV Multi-Sat dish antenna, pro-
viding for connection of up to 8 satellite reception devices.
Wideband frequency range 40 up to
2300MHz
High performance SMD multi-layered
printed-circuit board design ensures high
port-to-port isolation to provide spurious
carrier protection and to minimize unde-
sired channel interaction, reducing picture
distortion
High output return loss ports specifically
designed for MDU networks and multiple-
subscriber applications reduce microre-
flections, improves data recovery and low-
ers harmonic distortions
Simple F-type connector interface design
provides satellite and antenna signals to
be routed to 4 or 8 outputs
High-performance PIN diode matrix
reduces polarity transfer time and digital
artifacts providing consistent picture quali-
ty
Antenna signal combines with satellite on
output (some models), eliminating external
combining, reducing cost and clutter
Compatible with Direct to Home satellite
services providing voltage and tone
switching for polarity selection
4 and 5 input versions compatible with
multi-satellite services providing 4 polari-
ties selected by receiver-supplied voltage
13-14V/17-18VDC and 22kHz tone
22kHz continuous tone (TSMS-4/8 and
TSMS-5/8) provides full compatibility with
DIRECTV phase 3 ODU reception devices
DC Power pass-through to input reduces
cost by providing the satellite receiver a
path to power the LNB
Built-in low-distortion amplifier (some mod-
els) compensates for insertion loss, reduc-
ing need for external amplification
Heavy-duty nickel-plated diecast housing
for maximum corrosion resistance
Epoxy-sealed backing prevents moisture
migration (some models)
Precision machined threads ensure secure
port-to-connector interface for improved
connectivity
Available external UL approved power
supply to reduce heat buildup, increasing
unit life
