Mount Power Inserter And Connect Input/Output Cables To Power Inserter; Dish 4-Port High-Capacity Power Inserter - Dish Network Smartbox User Manual

Mount Power Inserter and Connect Input/Output Cables to Power Inserter

An external power source and in-line surge protector(s) must be installed on the coax line(s) between
and the satellite's LNBF(s). The current recommended solution is the DISH 4-port high-capacity power inserter
with built-in surge protection (DN005050). This is only for situations where the LNBF is within 100 feet of
SMARTBOX.
CAUTION:
For cable runs of greater than 100 feet, in-line amplifiers may be required.

wall or surface.
2. Connect cables from the LNBFs to ports 1, 2, 3, 4 (as needed); these are marked TO DISH on the power
inserter (See Figure 1.).
