What Swtch Do I Need???

[bigcitymd]

If I wanted to setup 14 receivers in my home what kind of switch or switches do i need??? SW-44A cascading to another Sw-44A to another SW-44A to a SW-44??

I am not sure you can cascade that many times.

I would be going for 2 x 8 Way Multiswitch's and 4 x SW44's.

Just put an 8 way on 91 and run 2 outputs to each of the SW44's, repeat for 82 and you have 16 potential outlets, all with 91 & 82 on them.

Is there a diagram that would show me how to wire, sat 82 & 91 to 14 receivers. What switches should i use?

Thanks

Pretty sure I answered the question in my last reply;

2 x 8 way multiswitch's (Eagle Aspen is a good make)
4 x SW44's, (Videopath)

From the 91 LNBF run 2 lines into the 2 inputs of the 8 Way Switch #1.

Outputs 1 & 2 of the 8 Way Switch go to INPUTS 1 & 2 on SW44 #1
Outputs 3 & 4 of the 8 Way Switch go to INPUTS 1 & 2 on SW44 #2
Outputs 5 & 6 of the 8 Way Switch go to INPUTS 1 & 2 on SW44 #3
Outputs 7 & 8 of the 8 Way Switch go to INPUTS 1 & 2 on SW44 #4


From the 82 LNBF run 2 lines into the 2 inputs of the 8 Way Switch #2.

Outputs 1 & 2 of the 8 Way Switch go to INPUTS 3 & 4 on SW44 #1
Outputs 3 & 4 of the 8 Way Switch go to INPUTS 3 & 4 on SW44 #2
Outputs 5 & 6 of the 8 Way Switch go to INPUTS 3 & 4 on SW44 #3
Outputs 7 & 8 of the 8 Way Switch go to INPUTS 3 & 4 on SW44 #4

I will create you a drawing and PM you when it is done.
