EXR 156 Kathrein gris

The Kathrein EXR 156 Grey is a compact multi-switch distribution amplifier for combined terrestrial and satellite TV distribution. It covers a frequency range of 47–862 MHz for terrestrial signals and 950–2150 MHz for satellite signals, provides one terrestrial input, four satellite outputs and six sub-outputs, and uses F-type RF connectors. The unit includes an integrated 18 V / 550 mA power supply and has low internal power consumption of 25 mA.

Advantages

The EXR 156 offers flexible signal splitting for small to medium installations, combining terrestrial and satellite distribution in a single enclosure. Its integrated PSU simplifies installation by supplying required voltage to connected satellite LNBs, while F-type connectors ensure standard, reliable RF connections. The device is compact and lightweight, making it suitable for installations with limited space.

How to use

Install the EXR 156 in a dry, ventilated location and connect the terrestrial antenna to the terrestrial input and satellite dish LNB(s) to the satellite inputs using F-type connectors. Connect the unit to mains power (198–253 V AC) so the integrated PSU can provide 18 V / 550 mA to satellite outputs. Distribute the outputs to receivers or tuners via coaxial cables terminated with F-connectors. Verify signal levels at each output and adjust downstream amplification if required.

Recommendations

For reliable operation, use good-quality coaxial cables and F-connectors, keep cable runs as short as practical, and perform signal level measurements after installation. Avoid exposing the unit to moisture and ensure adequate ventilation around the enclosure.
