Pico Macom TSMS-2150-4 Specifications

Distribution
Active Components
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 mini-
mize undesired channel interaction,
reducing picture distortion
High output return loss ports specifically
designed for MDU networks and multiple-
subscriber applications reduce micro-
reflections, improves data recovery and
lowers 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
quality
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
polarities 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
models) compensates for insertion loss,
reducing need for external amplification
Heavy-duty nickel-plated diecast hous-
ing for maximum corrosion resistance
Epoxy-sealed backing prevents mois-
ture 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

Satellite IF Multiswitches
The TSMS series of professional-grade single and dual satellite multiswitches are used in
applications that require satellite IF distribution from 950 up to 2300 MHz, including residential
and MDU installations requiring high reliability, 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 single
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, providing for connection of up to 8 satellite reception devices.
