SOLUTION

RELATED CONSIDERATIONS

The output of a SWM8, SWM16 or SWM32 is split to

multiple rooms and the receiver signal levels are low

at distant locations.

Model SD SWMA2 boosts SWM 940 to 2150 MHz

signals off setting the loss of 150 feet of RG-6 while

bidirectionally passing 2 to 806 MHz DECA, MoCA and

receiver control signals.

MoCA signals in the 475 to 625 MHz band generated

in multi-room viewing DIRECTV® systems pass

through the SD SWMA2.

DECA signals in the 475 to 625 MHz band generated

in DIRECTV® Residential Experience (DRE) systems

for communications pass through the SD SWMA2.

Indoor / Outdoor DBS line powered amplifier with

940 to 2150 MHz forward gain and passive 2 MHz

to 806 MHz return.

Model SD SWMA2-T extends SWM drop distances while

passing bidirectional 2 MHz control signals and 475 to

625 MHz (MRV) multi-room viewing signals.

Room 1 acts as a media server for a custom home.

Multiple DVR’s located on the SWM2 output are

accessible from receivers on the SWM1 output. Some

rooms in the home are greater than 150 feet and need

SWM amplification. Model SD SWMA2 provides

SWM amplifi cation while maintaining an MRV budget

of 45 dB.
