Satellite TV Signal: aCSS Distribution

Analog Channel Stacking System (aCSS) is for distributing satellite signals from a single dish to multiple TV's/STB's using just a single cable by connecting them serially. It is documented in 2 international standards: EN50494, EN50607.

Part No	CSS	Application	Input (GHz)	Output (GHz)	Vcc
RT750	4 inputs → 4 Users	Multi-switch	0.25–2.35	0.95–2.15	3.3
