DIY 80cm 4 x quad lnb 13e-28.2e

I've just finished moving my dish and adding 4 lnbs on a multi lnb holder, for 13e, 19.2e, 23.5e, 28.2e

Equipment used: Orbital 80cm, 4 x Edision QSL-5 0.2 dB Quad LNB, 4 x Edision Diseqc 4/1 Switch, 2 x Orbital 9 Degree LNB Holder

I've used twin coaxial (shotgun) cable from the lnbs to the diseqc switches. You can just tear apart the two parts of the twin coax cable, which gives you quite thin individual cables. This is ideal if you have to run 16 cables from 4 quad lnbs

Cheers, Martin

edit: I can fit f connectors in my sleep now and my fingers looked like i played a barbed wire banjo lol

Excellent. Looks like you have a nice robust installation there Martin.

I have a multi-shotgun cable run to my dish/LNB and always had to be careful when separating the coax, as it was too easy to strip the outer and expose the metal foil.

My System: Triax 1.1m and Orbital 80cm Motorised Dishes. Various fixed Dishes. Eclectic selection of Digital and Analogue Receivers. Complex switching and distribution that SWMBO cannot fathom. Nor me.

Very nice indeed.

I take it you've got Shares in the Self-Amalgamating Tape Manufacturer's Business?

Wow that looks like a very clean install. Where did you get the multi lnd holder from?

Also will it work with other dishes or just the orbital one?

Thank you
