Kathrein multi-switch distribution network amplifier/ for satellite and terrestrial areas in the Kathrein satellite IF distribution system 8 x satellite IF/ 9 amplifiers (8 x satellite IF and 1 x terrestrial area) are housed in one housing/ high level of control of the amplifier sections/ high decoupling between the amplifier sections/ BK suitability of the terrestrial amplifier section/ adjustable attenuation controllers (1 dB steps) in each amplifier section for adjusting different input levels/ built-in pre-equalization to compensate for cable slopes/ adjustable equalizer (2 dB steps) in each satellite amplifier section to compensate for different cable slopes/ low power consumption thanks to highly efficient, short-circuit-proof switching power supply/ LNB remote feed option via the horizontal low inputs/ all other inputs are voltage-free (thus operation with UAS 485 possible) / for indoor installation
