The SRD-ANT-8-PAK is a high quality outdoor antenna system designed for use with up to 8 Crestron® XM or SIRIUS® satellite radio tuners. The inclusion of two SRD-SPL-4 Four-Way Amplified Splitters enables distribution of the antenna signal to 8 separate tuners while allowing the antenna to be positioned up to 300 feet (cable length) from the tuners using standard RG-6 cable (not included).

The antenna features a considerably narrower beam width compared to standard consumer antennas, achieving superior gain and multi-path rejection. Additional front end filtering provides excellent rejection to nearby out-of-band RF signals from sources such as Wi-Fi, cellular telephones, and cordless telephones.

A wall mount bracket with elevation and azimuth adjustments is provided for installation of the antenna to any horizontal or vertical flat surface. The additional U-bolt and saddle enable mounting to a pole (not included) up to 2 inches diameter. Connections between the antenna and splitters are achieved using industry standard RG-6 cable and F-type connectors (not supplied).

Eight (8) 3 ft long F-to-SMB cables and adapters are included for connecting each tuner to the splitter outputs. If needed, standard RG-6 cable with male F-connectors (not supplied) may be used to extend the output cable lengths up to 70 feet from each individual splitter output to the tuners. Adding a SRD-AMP-1 line amplifier (sold separately) at the input of either splitter will enable longer output cable lengths of up to 250 feet each.

The SRD-ANT-8-PAK utilizes a SRD-CPL-4 Four-way Coupler to split the antenna signal to each of the two amplified splitters provided. The two unused outputs on the coupler may be used to feed additional amplified splitters, allowing easy expansion to support distribution of the antenna signal to a total of up to 16 satellite radio tuners.

Note: Unused splitter outputs do not have to be terminated for proper operation.

A 20dB power passing attenuator is also included with each splitter for use in preventing overload of the splitter inputs in any installation that is located near a high power satellite radio terrestrial repeater.
