2. Objective The satellite multistacker (SMS) is a standalone device that can be installed directly after a twin or quad universal vertical - horizontal LNBF. It is typically installed before the first distribution point in the SMATV system. An amplifier is installed where required to provide a higher launch level of up to 108dBuV. (The multistacker typically outputs a level of 80-85dBuV). Due to the design of the multistacker there is no headend set up procedure, the Foxtel N.I.T (Network Information Table) is updated which informs the SMS what frequencies to tune to in the same way we update information to STB’s in the field. This becomes a simple installation method for a large variety of building types which include: Domestic homes that are difficult to re-cable. MDU’s listed as “non-homes passed” which have been difficult to cable due to cabling access. MDU lite buildings that are H polarity only cabled. Twin backbone no PVR buildings with single laterals. Single wired Commercial Buildings. Single wired residential Estates including RF or Optical distribution.
3. Scope To install a multistacker, all RF distribution components within the network must be capable of distributing the upper Frequency of 2400MHz, including: Amplifiers Power Injectors Splitters Taps Cables Connectors Wall plates Foxtel satellite transponders are distributed on frequencies between 950-2350MHz. The SMS stacks V polarity transponders onto the H polarity so that a single cable can distribute up to 32 satellite Transponders. This allows the integration of FTA services on the one cable with the use of a FTA – Satellite diplexer that combines 45-862 MHz FTA & 950-2400 MHz Satellite. Foxtel has updated the Installer Product List with products capable of distributing signals at the higher frequency of 2400MHz which are listed under the category “Multistacker”. This allows the combined FTA – Satellite to be distributed down existing single cable RF distribution networks that are fitted with a minimum of RG6 coaxial cable. The stacker has been fitted with a 5 position dip switch which is switched to match the State installed. This allows Foxtel to make better use of Transponder space in the event that the total 32 transponders are used.

Vertical Stacked Transponder Frequencies The following tables shows the vertical stacked transponders for each state throughout Australia. The multistacker is shipped with all dip switched set to the National Plan or off position. This plan has higher frequencies which are used to commission an SMATV or Optical Backbone before the correct state is selected. The new state is retuned within 30 seconds of selecting the required plan. Meter plans have been listed on the left from 01 to 08.

Resulting in a “No Signal” status.

4. Installation Requirements All Components within a SMATV backbone system must pass frequencies from 45 to 2400MHz. Any exception to this is shown in the following bullet points. Backbone upgrades: Upgrade existing FTA RG6/RG11 backbone system must have all devices rated for the FTA and satellite bands from 45 - 2400MHz. No PDR buildings with end of line multiswitches must have all components rated from 45-2400MHz. The only exception to the rule is when using the existing end of line multiswitch which are rated below 2400MHz. This may result in a drop of signal level for transponders above 2150MHz. In most cases signal attenuation will be minimal, but installers should take this attenuation in signal level into account when calculating system losses. Existing RG6 crimp connectors are permitted in upgraded systems. Upgraded systems with RG11 crimp connectors must have the connectors upgraded to RG11 compression connectors. Backbone upgrades only requires 2 coaxial cables from a twin LNBF to the multistacker
Diagram 3 A small FTA – SAT Integrated no PDR system upgrade No PDR buildings are cabled with a single lateral cable to the wall plate, the SMS allows the single lateral cable to provide satellite Horizontal pole and Vertical pole transponders stacked onto Horizontal pole, plus FTA to an IQ3 or later STB. Note: A GPO is required in the headend location. If this is not achievable line powering via an in-line power injector with a dedicated “common property” GPO in another location is possible. The unit is not to be powered from a private resident’s power source. Note: When local powering of SMS is used the installation of a power block at the RF output of the SMS must be installed.

Satellite MultiStacker Installation Requirements
New Backbone: 4 Cables run from the LNBF to the Multistacker. A 5th Cable is installed from the roof FTA antenna to the multistacker / headend location. RG11 compression connectors are to be used for all RG11cables. RG6 compression connectors are to be used for all RG6 cables. Standalone satellite systems only require amplifiers with an operational range of 950-2400MHz, no FTA amplifier is required. When integrating FTA services, the FTA amplifiers are to operate in the range 45 – 862MHz. Refer to the Foxtel Installer Product List for a full range of products that can be used for SMS installations. https://www.foxtel.com.au/content/dam/foxtel/support/pdf/installer-product- list.pdf When local powering of SMS is used the installation of a power block at the RF output of the SMS must be installed. Optical Systems and Residential Estates: When integrating into an optical fibre network, the components used must be capable of transmitting signals in the range of 5-2400MHz. Carriers networks that use RF overlay for combining television services typically use the wavelength of 1550nm for distribution through the network. Please check with the carriers requirements when choosing the wavelength to be used. Optical receivers should be capable of catering for a high channel load of 32 x 36MHz satellite carriers and a minimum of 12 x 7 MHz COFDM FTA carriers. The channel load may vary depending on the network requirments. Wall plate signal levels & quality shall meet the requirements shown in tables 4, 5 & 6 of this document.

This type of backbone distributes both Satellite stacked services and FTA to a single outlet. The use of a satellite / FTA diplexer is used to divide the satellite and FTA signals to the Foxtel STB.
Diagram 5 Single wire 4 way splitter Concept Design using Active Taps to feed 128 outlets over 4 levels The installation of active taps can be carried out with minimal signal loss to the wall plate. This design shows Optional Powering of Active Tap, Multistacker and LNBF from Option 1 Local Power or Option 2 line powering from the active tap on level 1. Active Taps also have the option of being line powered from the input of the 4 way splitter. When this option is used powering of SMS & Active Tap from level 1 cannot be achieved. Note: The maximum combined current draw from a single power supply must not exceed 1800mA.
