Hello everyone,
what are the opinions regarding the installation location of the Sat multiswitch? Does it make more sense to install it in the cold attic or in the technical room in the basement?
The house will have two full floors with a flat gable roof (unheated attic) and a basement.
Pro attic:
-less loss, as the multiswitch is close to the satellite dish
-less cabling effort, as most connections are on the upper floor (3x twin connections). This allows the rooms to be connected directly. Ground floor (2x twin), basement (1x twin)
-satellite cables between the multiswitch and the satellite dish are easier to replace if they become defective after X years.
Pro basement:
-fewer penetrations of the vapor barrier in the ceiling of the top floor
-all technology is located in the technical room in the basement
Thank you very much for the opinions and suggestions.
