1 DIRECTV MFH2 Single Wire Satellite Distribution System Introduction The DIRECTV MFH2 System is a single-wire solution for distributing all DIRECTV Ku/Ka satellite bands from each orbital satellite slot into a Multi-Dwelling Unit (MDU) via a single homerun wire. This technology enables a customer to receive all of DIRECTV s programming and services on multiple receivers inside a customer s premise. MFH2 Components FMC-6 Chassis and SWM-8 module The main technology element for MFH2 is the eight (8) channel Single Wire Multi-switch module (SWM-8) and the six slot FMC-6 chassis shown above. The eight channel SWM is designed to provide DIRECTV programming from all current and future Ku/Ka satellites via a single home run wire to a set of multiple receivers connected using one or more passive splitters inside the customer premise. The SWM-8 allocates up to eight channels for viewer selected programming for MFH2 compatible receivers. The FMC-6 is a six (6) slot chassis designed to house up to six (6) SWM-8 modules.

The MFH2 Multi satellite tap allows up to two FMC-6 chassis units to be connected to a common satellite distribution backbone. MST-774 Multi Satellite Tap Unit Enables up to four FMC-6 chassis units to be connected to a common satellite distribution backbone Enables satellite and off-air feeds to be cascaded to additional wiring closets Allows for easy installation with minimal signal loss. The MFH2 Multi satellite tap allows up to four FMC-6 chassis units to be connected to a common satellite distribution backbone. SA-6AL Satellite Active Components - Trunk Amplifier Simplifies MDU installations by providing an adjustable in-line trunk amplifier with signal level LED indicators for proper operation. Supports Ku and Ka-band ODU installations. Low power consumption and wide dynamic range. The SA-6AL Provides adjustable in-line trunk amplification with LED signal level indicators and individual gain controls. Page 3

4 FMC-6 Distribution Chassis Enables easy expansion of MFH2 services on a dwelling by dwelling basis. Can be cascaded for easy expansion. Supports up to 12 customer dwellings (typical) for each fully configured FMC-6 chassis unit. Easy installation. LED Indicators confirm presence of signals and DC line power. The FMC-6 Six slot distribution chassis supports up to six SWM-8 modules per chassis. A fully configured FMC-6 requires three 3A-501DA24 24 VCD power supplies. SWM-E2 Dual SWM Expander Holds up to 2 SWM-8 single wire multiswitches Requires 3A-501DA24 Supplies LNB power Provides for a reliable installation of two SWM-8 from one satellite dish by eliminating the need for unnecessary satellite splitters, jumpers and connections SWM-E4 Quad SWM Expander Holds up to 4 SWM-8 single wire multiswitches Requires one 3A-501DA24 for every two SWM-8 that are inserted Supplies LNB power Provides for a reliable installation of four SWM-8 from one satellite dish by eliminating the need for unnecessary satellite splitters, jumpers and connections Page 4

5 SWM-8 Single Wire Multi Switch (8 Channel) Provides eight independent channels for supporting up to 8 DIRECTV satellite tuners. Provides two outputs to serve two customer dwellings (typical). Contains a built-in diplexer for combining off-air signals with DIRECTV satellite signals onto a single home run wire to the dwelling Provides AGC for the satellite input signal. Die-cast housing is suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. Supports six LNB inputs, each triple band stacked four ports (1-4) cover existing 99 /101, 103 /110 /119 satellites, plus two flex ports (95 and 72.5 ) The SWM-8 is an eight channel single wire multi switch that allows any transponder from any satellite input to be independently selected and distributed via one of eight designated SWM output frequency channels.
