1. Overview
The Satellite Multistacker combines 2 horizontal & 2 vertical satellite services from 2
orbital locations and combines them on a single RF cable so that a single RF input port
on an IQ3 or later STB can receive the signals.

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

Important Note: It is crucial that the correct plan is selected for the required state, if
this is not carried out the subscriber will be missing some if not all vertical channel
groups. 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.
FXTL-T-0219 Satellite Multistacker Installation Requirements Issue 1 Revision 2

© FOXTEL Management Pty Ltd 2018 12Satellite 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.

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.

Appendix C. Earthing
Earthing and Equipotential Bonding (CET) Designs
All system components must be earthed in compliance with
AS/NZS 1367:2000, AS/NZS3000, (earthing conductors), and AS/ACIF
S009:2006.
Equipotential bonding is used to ensure that no hazardous voltages are present on the
outer conductors of a cable or any metallic component within the network.
A licensed electrician must carry out connections within the electrical switchboard.
Note: A suitably qualified person can carry out the connection for protective earthing external
to the switchboard.
Refer to the following designs for specific diagrams for earthing outline the preferred
methods for connection of a CET and bonding conductor.
