Planning tool for SAT IF, single-cable and BK cable network systems

KATHREIN Digital Systems, market leader for digital satellite reception technology and specialist for digital signal distribution, has expanded its free planning tool to include the option of planning cable network systems in network level 4 for up to 32 subscriber connections in addition to SAT IF systems in star distribution and SAT single-cable systems.

This makes simple design via the KATHREIN Digital Systems homepage, including the display of all information, such as level values, cable lengths and number of amplifiers, possible in a further market segment. Specialist dealers and installers then receive a material list with all the required components and can transfer these directly to the shopping cart of the desired wholesaler via the ELBRIDGE 2.0 interface.

Possible configurations of broadband cable networks include the residential star with remote branching (4 to 32 subscriber lines), the central star with internal branching at the installation site (4, 6 or 8 subscriber lines), and series distribution with internal distributor and connected loop-through outlets (max. 4 outlets per branching, 3 to 32 subscriber lines).

The main features of the tool briefly summarized:

  • Convenient design of simple & complex SAT / single-cable / broadband cable network systems
  • Complete overview of all level values for the entire plant
  • Planning of individual cable lengths & placement of amplifiers
  • Calculation of the respective cable types & packaging units
  • Saving, loading & subsequent editing of a configuration
  • Creation of a level plan (PDF) for the entire plant
  • Creation of a material list (PDF) with all required components
  • Automatic transfer of all articles into the shopping cart of an electrical wholesale store via ELBRIDGE 2.0 interface
  • Output of the planning in GAEB format

In the first step towards a universal use of the planning tool, KATHREIN Digital Systems now offers the planning of SAT IF systems in star distribution also in English, including English material list and English level plan. In this way, the company is responding to the demand for appropriate internationally understandable documentation of installations and simplifying multilingual communication between property owners, service providers and retailers.
