Cascaded multiswitch
Compact matrix stacks sized to outlet count and riser topology.
Application
Residential buildings
SMATV and fiber-ready distribution for apartments and residential towers — balanced for tap budgets, outlet density, and future service migrations.
Solution overview
Residential buildings
Residential rollouts demand repeatable outlet levels, compact riser designs, and spare-part continuity. We work with integrators on multiswitch stacks, trunk amplifiers, and optical links where coax length or lightning exposure pushes the design toward fiber segments.
System architecture
Typical system architecture
Rooftop satellite and terrestrial sources are combined at a service-room multiswitch stack, amplified onto vertical risers, and tapped per-floor down to in-apartment outlets. Long verticals or campus links upgrade to RF-over-fiber.

Engineering value
Key system features
Tap-budget control
Trunk and distribution amplifiers tuned to avoid marginal levels end-of-line.
Fiber for long runs
RF-over-fiber options for high-rise verticals or campus residential clusters.
Future-service ready
IPTV migration paths that do not require replacing the horizontal coax.
Use cases
Typical applications
Apartments & MDU
Standard outlet-per-room distribution for tower and mid-rise residences.
Residential towers
High-rise verticals with amplifier or fiber backbone for level consistency.
Compounds & villas
Campus-style residential clusters served from a shared headend room.
