Help with a 3-sat MDU install

[cheebs]

This is for a multiple cascaded 22khz multiswitch system. I'd like to add SatC to the system.
At present, the system consists of 8 cascaded 22khz multiswitches, connected to 101 and 119. I've addded SatC combiners to single-family home installs before, but never to a cascaded MDU system.

My question is, do I add the SatC integrator ONLY at the headend or do I need to add a fifth tapped line throughout the entire cascade, and a combiner at every multiswitch???

I've made a rudimentary diagram to explain things graphically. It shows the SatC integrator only at the headend.

I don't know anything about MDU, but in consumer applications you combine 110 and 119 and direcTV equipment then thinks its one satellite since the Sat C combiner shifts the frequencies so 110 & 119 fit in one satellite's bandwidth.

Yes, I've done several home installs with the SatC combiner.

I just need to know if the combined signal will cascade from the headend or if I will need an extra tapped line and combiners at every multiswitch.

You should be able to add the "C" Kit, which diplexes into the the system, and you're good to go... The rest is all taken care of by the Multiswitches...

Muchas Gracias Doctor Bob!!!
