SOLUTION

RELATED CONSIDERATIONS

The output of a SWM8, SW16, SWM32, SL3S or SL5S is

split to multiple rooms or apartments and the receiver

signal levels are low at distant locations.

Model LA142R boosts cable and DBS signal levels

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

data modem and receiver control signals from the

receiver to the switch.

This product is a universal coaxial amplifier. The

amplif ier works with ATSC, CAT V, DBS & SWM.

Includes passive 2 to 40 MHz sub-band return.

Model SD SWMA2 bidirectionally passes 2 to 806

MHz DECA, MoCA and receiver control signals for

applications where the 475 to 625 MHz band is required

at the amplifi er input.

Indoor / Outdoor Dual 54 to 3000 MHz DBS line

powered amplifier with forward gain and sub-

band 2 to 40 MHz passive return.

A garden style apartment building may be served with

a single set of DIRECTV dishes.

Model SWMBOX-A64 contains SWM8 and SWM16 switches to serve up to 16 apartments. Each SWM

output is split with model HRvS2P splitters to provide

up to (4) tuners per apartment.

The maximum recommended IDF to apartment

distance is 150 feet of RG-6 without a LA142R line

extender. Model LA142R extends SWM drop distances

while passing the 2 MHz control signals.

SITUATION: A large custom home has coax

to every room but some locations do not

have CAT5 outlets. Data and DIRECTV®

video services are required at all locations.

Drop distances and MRV loss exceed the 45

dB budget.

SOLUTION: MoCA provides the ability to

stream multiple high defi nition video and

data traffic throughout the home using

coax. Bridging DECA devises increases the

MRV budget.

SWM amplifi er model LA142R-T is used to

extend the IDF to receiver distances. SWM

diplexer models SD SWMD3 & SD SWMD2

are used to bridge the DECA devices. An

HR34 DVR at the IDF provides video server

functions.

SWM EXTENSION with MRV

DIRECTV® mutli-room viewing (MRV) sends high level

signals in the 475 to 625 MHz band from receivers. MoCA

data traffi c and MRV signals CAN share the same coax.

MoCA signals CAN NOT amplified since the network is

bidirectional. We bridge two MRV coax networks since

the receivers exceed the 45 dB maximum loss budget for

a single network. The (2) coax networks must be isolated.

Model SD SWMD3 is used on the un-amplified SWM2

port to extract the MRV signal to the DECABB. The SD

SWMD3 provides 60 dB of MRV rejection to the SWM2

port. The MRV loss from ROOM 1 to the SWM2 DECA

is 24 dB. The ROOM 1 receiver input is -55 dBm @ 1840

MHz. This includes the SLPIT8 loss, the loss of 100 feet

of RG-6 and the loss of the SPLIT2 splitter.

Model SD SWMD2 is used on the amplified SWM1

port to extract the MRV signal to the DECABB. The

LA141R-T blocks MRV from the SWM1 port. The MRV

loss from GUEST 2 to the SWM1 DECA is 32 dB. The

GUEST 2 receiver input is -53 dBm from the amplifi ed

SWM1 signal.

Note that a SPLIT2 splitter must be used rather than a

diplexer to separate the data and video signals. Both

the DBS receiver and the DECA device require MoCA

signals. ALL MoCA devices must “see” each other to map

out the network.
