Signal attenuation is somewhere between 1 and 4 dB, and the decoupling of both outputs exceeds 25dB. Switching is controlled by the LNB power supply. Whenever there is power on output B, the switch will activate it. This CVE 5400 is a head-end amplifier for cascaded cable systems which amplifies the four inputs from a Universal Quad LNB or the two inputs coming from two separate dishes. This four-way amplifier uses progressive amplification to compensate for the losses that usually occur at higher frequencies. Terrestrial signals can be amplified separately and integrated with the signals on all four outputs.
All inputs have a variable input level that can be adjusted as required.
It gets its power from the separate power unit CNT 1818. 18dB Output max. The power for the LNB is supplied by the switch, where the various inputs supply the voltage level necessary for the required polarity. Apart from Quad LNBs, twin or single LNBs are also supported. Terrestrial signals are also distributed independently from the satellite signals.
