- Unicable®-, Unicable® II-, and JESS®-Support: The card supports Unicable® (SCR - Single Cable Routing) according to EN50494 and JESS® (Jultec Enhanced Stacking System) as well as Unicable® II according to EN50607, allowing simple and efficient distribution of satellite signals over a single cable.
What is Unicable® and JESS®?
Unicable®/JESS® is a standard for single-cable distribution of satellite signals. It enables multiple receivers to be supplied via a single coaxial cable. This is achieved through the use of special LNBs (Low Noise Block Converters) and multiswitches that process the signals in such a way that multiple receivers can use them independently. JESS® (Jultec Enhanced Stacking System) is an extension of the Unicable® standard and offers additional functions and higher capacity. Unicable® II provides the same functionality as JESS® and is also standardized according to EN50607.
