TRIAX TMS/CKR 5x8 BS Multiswitch – 5 Input, 8 Output, Quad/Quattro LNB Compatible

TRIAX TMS/CKR 5x8 BS Satellite Multiswitch – 5 Inputs, 8 Outputs

The TRIAX TMS/CKR 5x8 BS is a high-performance, mains-powered satellite multiswitch designed to distribute satellite and terrestrial TV signals to up to eight independent receivers or TV points from a single satellite dish.

Featuring 5 inputs and 8 subscriber outputs, this versatile multiswitch supports both Quad and Quattro LNBs, making it an ideal choice for domestic installations, apartment buildings, small commercial properties and other multi-room satellite distribution systems.

The multiswitch combines four satellite inputs with one terrestrial input, allowing satellite and terrestrial TV signals to be distributed through the same coaxial cable network.

Designed for reliability and ease of installation, the TRIAX TMS/CKR 5x8 BS features low insertion loss, excellent signal isolation and low power consumption. Its compact construction makes it suitable for installations where space is limited.

Key Features

• 5 Inputs / 8 Outputs – Distribute satellite and terrestrial TV signals to up to eight independent connection points.

• Quad and Quattro LNB Compatible – Supports both types of satellite LNB for greater installation flexibility.

• Single Satellite Position – Designed for receiving and distributing signals from one satellite dish position.

• Terrestrial TV Input – Combines terrestrial TV signals with satellite distribution.

• Active/Passive Terrestrial Switching – Selectable terrestrial signal distribution mode.

• Low Insertion Loss – Designed to maintain signal quality throughout the distribution system.

• High Signal Isolation – Helps minimise interference between connected receivers.

• Low Power Consumption – Efficient operation with a UK mains power supply.

• Compact Design – Ideal for installation in cupboards, equipment cabinets and confined spaces.

• Installer-Friendly Connections – Evenly spaced F-connectors and colour-coded input labels simplify installation.

• Integrated Earthing Bars – Convenient earthing connections.

• LED Power Indicator – Provides a visual indication of operating status.

• ESD Protection – Protection against electrostatic discharge.

• 6-Year TRIAX Manufacturer's Warranty – Providing additional confidence in long-term reliability.

Quad and Quattro LNB Compatibility

Unlike many conventional satellite multiswitches that require a dedicated Quattro LNB, the TRIAX TMS/CKR 5x8 BS supports both Quad and Quattro LNB configurations.

This makes it particularly useful when upgrading an existing satellite installation, as a compatible Quad LNB may be retained rather than replaced with a Quattro model.

Each of the eight outputs provides an independent satellite connection, allowing connected receivers to select their required satellite channels without affecting other users.

Satellite and Terrestrial Distribution

The multiswitch features four satellite inputs and one terrestrial input, enabling both types of television signal to be carried over a common coaxial distribution network.

The integrated active/passive terrestrial switch provides additional flexibility when configuring the terrestrial signal path.
