[QUOTE="deeptho, post: 1121720, member: 215446"] You might think that the sockets on the centauri are close, but I have other switches (10x1) where they are even closer and which have been designed for thinner cable. So it is not even possible to close the plastic housing properly. Those 10x1 switches work well as well, but you have to combine them with 4x1 switches to reach 13 or more inputs and then it becomes a hassle, both for cabling and for reliability. So that is why I replaced 3 of them with centauris. And indeed signal loss is not a major issue. Another factor to consider - if you have a rotor - is how much DC current the switch can pass through. My rotor is placed after a 10x1 switch and runs fine. In principle it is better to connect the switch after the rotor, but this was more practical for wiring and it works fine. So the equipment is quite flexible. Also regarding the order of diseqc1.0 and diseqc1.1. No matter the order, you can always make it work. [/QUOTE]
